Guys and Gals,

Such prompt reply's. Here is what I am going to do. I will post them to
the Chester County, Pennsylvania BIOGRAPHY BOARD at

http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/ChesterBios (just click
on me, and I will take you there)

and then let you all know who has been posted. This way I will not take up
a lot of space and will keep the flames and the pooped index fingers (from
the delete key) down.

The two books that I am talking about are History of Chester County,
Pennsylvania, by Futhey and Cope, and The Biographical and Portrait
Cyclopedia of Chester County, Pennsylvania, by Samuel T. Wiley. As many of
you know, most of our quaker ancestors came from the Chester County area and
spread their wings and flew to other counties and states as they opened up,
and these books are a wealth of information, sometimes a little on the thin
side for information and some of them going back to the time they got their
first pimple along with information on two or three generations.

Now, that we have this taken care of, let me list the bio's that I have that
will be posted, William BRINTON, Charles BRADLEY, James Pyle WICKERSHAM,
LL.D., Jonathan GAUSE, Joseph I. STUBBS, The Francis SWAYNE family and the
Hon. Theodore K. STUBBS. from Cyclopedia and Francis FINCHER from History
of Chester County. Francis FINCHER has been posted to the board. Plus I
have Isaac AILES of Washington County, Pa, his great-grandparents were
Stephen S. AILES, Sr. and Mary BOWATER of Chester County. And I have a
rather large handful of others that are somewhere on my desk, just have to
uncover them (a job in itself).

I will do look ups for anyone that wants me to, as I go the Earlham about
three times a week, so let me know who you would like for me to look for.
All that I ask is that I be re-embursed for the copies (10 cents a page) and
that you post them to the Chester County Biography Board if it applys and
they are not already there. Now that didn't hurt did it?? So send me your
list of names and your addresses and will see what I find on Friday. I have
made the same request for the Chester County, Pa. list sooooooo, those of
you on both lists I make my apology for two posts now (and beg for your
forgivness).

Now let's all have a great day. My little neighbor boy (who I am sitting
with today) just informed me that 'I have the force with me' as you can tell
he is into Star Wars, so this MUST be a good day-I don't usually rate this
high.
