"Slippery Rock Creek flows in a southerly direction until it reaches
Wurtemburg, and here it is met by a towering bluff three hundred and ninety
feet high, and obliged to turn aside. From here it flows to the westward,
roaring over a dam which breasts its waters at Wurtemburg, and foaming
angrily on down the channel as if seeking revenge for being turned from its
course. As it proceeds it nerves itself for a conflict with the water
The USGS GNIS locator puts Rock Point at 40051'N Lat and 80018'W Lon, which
would put it near where the Connoquenessing enters the Beaver. Although
Rock Point is not actually shown on the USGS map. So, Tami is right in
about where it should be.

Hi Listers:
I'm searching for info in Lawrence Co. PA about Robert W. Graham &
family, who lived "near Harlansburg" PA from 1835 to 1853. Several
children were born there, namely David Edward, Margaret Lucinda, Robert
Owen, & Harriet Fullenwider. Robert's wife was the former Margaret
Milligan of Swissvale, Perry Co. PA (m. 4/29/1828 in Perry Co. PA). I'm
new to the Lawrence Co. list.
The oldest child of Robert & Margaret Graham was Sarah Ann, who married
a William Vaughn (?) Kerr on 3/1/1953; I assume

James Leslie, president of Spencer Paint & Glass Co., settled in what is now
North Beaver Township. It was then a part of Beaver County.
In 1849, Lawrence County was formed from sections of Mercer an
None of these are my surnames; however, if anyone has anyone that migrated
to Iowa, to Clinton County [big 'first stop' in 1850's], then here is a
website that now lists some biographies of individuals - I chose just a few
to put on this e-mail. The cemetery listing is growing as well, so you may
be able to find some ancestor's names here.
Hope this is able to help someone.
