Hi Jan,
Hamilton Twp is in the center of the county and to the west of
Chambersburg.
Fort Loudon is in Peters Twp which is on the western border of the
county about one-third of the way up from the southern border.
I have not found a more useful tool for research in PA than "The
Pennsylvania Line", a 400-page handbook published by
Southwest PA Genealogical Services
PO Box 253
Laughlintown PA 15655
The cost is around $10 and it has all kinds of maps, lists of towns,
streams, townships and their locatio
Hi,
Does anyone out there know what townships are contained in Fort
Loudon, PA (if any).. I don't have access to any maps detailed enough
to tell me, and I would like the information to make searching the 1860
census a little easier. I was amazed to see that Franklin Co. has two
microfilms for that census.
Thank you all.
Donna
me too
Bill

Does anyone in Franklin County have any information on Matthias GIFT and
his son George. There may have been another son, Adam. I understand that
Matthias GIFT was one of the first settlers in the Grindstone Hill area of
Franklin County and that he was one of the first members of the Lutheran
Church there. Are there any cemtery records for the cemetery there, if so
where can I obtain access to them?
