Hello Charles: I am always pleased to see those familiar phrases that are a
striking give-a-way that the person is from somewhere around Beaver County.
That is: "I was down there a few years ago". It is always "down there" or
"up there" and the writer rarely states where it is that they were "down
there" or "up there" from. It is a dead give-away...you are definitely from
the area. (Just kidding you a little..I do the same thing!)

Shenango Twp. is now in Lawrence County, PA

I have two booklets that list information many have found useful. I don't
know if they will be of help to you or not. 1) I have a listing of Beaver
Co. Marriages between 1830-1873 that were announced in the local newspapers
there. I find Andrew SANDS (Raccoon twp.) married to Suzana Heath (Raccoon
Twp.) by Thomas W. Ayers, Esq. on 1 Jun 1849. Also, I find an M. BOARDING
(Pittsburgh) married to an M. SANDS (No twp. listed) by Rev. S. Hair on 31
Dec 1846. Also, I find Jacob HOOK (Ohio Twp.) married to Martha SANDS (Moon
Twp) by John Kerr, Esq. on 17 Nov 1830. 2) I have a booklet listing Delayed
Birth Registrations of records of birth from 1872 to 1905. These have a lot
of information on them. I have a John Sylvester SANDS, Docket #2, Page
#213. If he is in your line and you want to get a copy get back to me and I
will tell you how to do that. Hope this helps.

> My name is Charles Sands. I have been searching my family tree for some
time now. My people come from Moon,Green,and Raccoon Twps. Some of them are
buried at the Presbyterian Church in Moon Twp. I was down there a few years
ago. I have been looking for GGG Grandfather Thomas Sands. His wife was
Elizabeth . She passed away 12-18-1884. I was told that she was buried in
that same Church,although I did not find her grave. According to the 1810
census, Thomas lived in Shenango Twp. in Beaver Co. I cannot find where
that was at in Beaver Co. If anyone Can help me My E-mail Address is
