I'm seeking more info on a James Alfred Painter born before 1843 who died in
Pittsburgh in 1891. He supposedly married a Gillespie, and had a daughter
named Anne Lemoyne Painter (1875-1960) who married a Lewis Huffman Williams
and a James Evans. I don't know if there are possible Chester roots or not
but it seemed worth asking with all the discussion of Painters. There may be
some Quaker connections. Evans and Williams were likely Welsh, and when
looking at maps of the area around where they owned property in Pittsburgh I
noted what looked like a historical Quaker meeting nearby.

James Alfred Painter is probably the same James A. Painter who served in the
Civil War from Westmoreland County. So I may be looking for a Painter line
that settled in Westmoreland.

James A. Painter Fourth Corporal April 22, 1861 Mustered out with the
Company, August 7, 1861
Recruited at Greensburg, Westmoreland County to the 14th Regiment, Company F
of Pennsylvania Volunteers.

I'd welcome the info from Dr. Chalfont Painter even if there is no obvious
connection.
