"On Wednesday last we were alarmed by one of the neighbours that came to the
Fort, and acquainted us that one Jno. Bushy had seen an Indian at his house,

My great-grandparents came from Ireland sometime in the 1880s and settled in
Bangor, Pennsylvania. She was Margaret Morrissey born in 1860 from County
Mayo and he was James Shanahan a master stone cutter date of birth unknown
from county unknown in Ireland. They had several children, Margaret, Mary
and John before he was run over and killed by a runaway horse and carriage
sometime in the early 1900s in Bangor. Any information on James or Margaret

I am looking for information for information on this couple in hopes that it will help me find more information on my ancestors. Agnes, nee Wien/Wein, was the aunt of my great-grandmother. Agnes was born about 1874 in Bethlehem, Pa. Her parents were Michael and Anna Wien. She was married to Gulielmur Tyler, who apparently died before 1900. She had a daughter, Anna. born about 1895. I am hoping to find out when she died or where she is buried.

If you go to:

and search the archives for the PANORTHA-L, and then search for Weaver or

Weaver/Weber biographies from the History of Northampton County, or maybe
History of Lehigh County, can't recall, were typed and sent to the

that were intended to be put up on the web site.
