<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WIlliam's Death certificate names his parents as David & Anna (Clawson) Dunkel, and tells us that his father was born in Germany and his mother was born in Altoona.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <a href="http://clawsonfamily.com/Clawson.pdf">Clawson genealogy found here</a> has the following record:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ELIZABETH CLOSSON77 (daughter of William Closson and Mary ?) was born about</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1827 in Altoona, Blair County, Pennsylvania77</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. She died on October 21, 1897 in</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beaver Falls, Beaver County, Pennsylvania77</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. She married David Dunkel about</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1847 in Blair County, Pennsylvania77</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. He was born on November 02, 1824 in</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lancaster County, Pennsylvania77</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. He died on January 25, 1891 in Beaver Falls,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beaver County, Pennsylvania77</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I can't be certain that Anna & Elizabeth are one and the same, and if they are, either the death certificate stating that David was born in Germany, or the Clawson record stating he was born in Pennsylvania, is incorrect. But I think it is LIKELY that this is the correct record for David . The other David in this area at this time is married to a Julia, and is not a likely match.</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Certificate Number:<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>20899</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">His occupation is given as Steel worker -which seems out of character. But in 1900 we see him married to Annie, working in the Opera House.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Annie is 5 years older than him and has a 9 year old child. I do not believe the child is his, as he would have been too young.</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Annie is a bit of a mystery - but since she is a Huffmire, according to her marriage license, and she is NOT in the 1880 census with Lucartha & Thomas Ellis (Parents of her Nora) - I suspect she is the sister in law of Nora, not the sister. Norah Bell Ellis married a William Huffmeyer. </span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Fred Heatley, Robert Spivey and I have been collectively researching the Cetlin and Wilson Shows all summer long. What started out as a request to write an article for the Carnival Model Builders magazine turned into a major project. I started out borrowing the Bob Goldsack book from my friend Hal Guyon and wanted to write an article about things that might not be in the book. 18 pages of typing later, I believe it's too large for an article. I have spoken to so many people this summer that had an involvement with the show or knew first hand what went on, it has been a real joy to do this. I just returned from a trip to Savannah where they showed for the last time, gathering more information and photos. We hope to have it ready to publish sometime next year. For every answer we get to one of our questions, it seems to open another question. Trust me, there are plenty of unanswered questions also. We are now concentrating on the final year of existence in 1968. We have learned many things never heard of before and none has ever been in print so it should make for a Historically accurate accounting of the shows progress through the years. Just for the record, Issy Cetlin and Jack Wilson started their partnership in 1928. They bought their train in 1945 and closed Nov.3, 1968 still travelling by train although both Mr. Cetlin and Mr. Wilson had passed away by then. "</span><br />

Such an individual existed, but I now know he is not Robert Strayhorn, the father of Nathaniel, Samuel, and Margaret. Please delete these erroneous connections from your tree.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Robert Strayhorn, a Scottish emigrant from Ayrshire, who according to two published sources arrived in the United States in 1775 from Scotland, along with sons Samuel and Nathaniel. Anecdotal sources claim Nathaniel and Samuel were born in Ireland. We have not yet located the record of their arrival in America, nor the sons' births. We have twice visited Edinburgh and also Ayrshire, Scotland and Belfast, Ireland, and the results of our research have been in a word, inconclusive. There is a Robert Straehorn in the church records who was born in Ayrshire, for whom we found no death record in Scotland. <b> Robert was identified as a 'mason' in Ayrshire, and as a 'weaver' upon his arrival in Philadelphia. </b>Ayrshire and Ulster are only thirteen miles apart and there has been a history of seasonal labor migration going back many hundreds of years, albeit primarily Irish workers going to Scotland to harvest crops. But Irish linen weaving was labor-intensive, as it was an industry which was late to mechanize, so skilled weavers were in high demand. And we do know that there was a recession in the Irish linen industry in the mid 1770s, because of competition from inexpensive cotton from the British colonies in America, which could have prompted Robert to emigrate in 1775. So far, we have found only a single piece of evidence in Ireland for Robert's presence there, a newspaper article from Antrim in the year 1761. Robert's wife Margaret died alone of 'Asthma' in Ayr in 1784, and while she may have been unfit to travel, we could not fathom Robert abandoning her, until we came across <a href="http://www.zentmeyergenealogy.com/Bigamy%20and%20Desertion%20among%20the%20Ulster%20Presbyterians.pdf">This Article</a>." <a href="http://www.zentmeyergenealogy.com/other-surnames.html">http://www.zentmeyergenealogy.com/other-surnames.html</a></span><br />

From 1938 until he entered military service in 1941 Bruce was employed as a molder at the Laurelton Foundry. Shirk thought that as many as 30 men were employed at the foundry during the time that he worked there. Nearly half of these men were molders. According to Bruce, molding was a tricky procedure. The end product depended on whether the sand had the right consistency and how well the molder had packed it. Bruce cast a variety of different parts during his employmThe Watsontown Foundry Company has been launched at Watsontown Pa with a capital stock of $10,000</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Other cast iron products made at the foundry included hog troughs, kettles, globe stoves, heatrolas, jacks (for jumping jack game), ornamental frog doorstops, weathervanes and many other items. Jacks cast at the foundry were also used to clean the cast iron pieces after they were removed from the sand mold and placed in tumblers. The foundry paid its molders only for the saleable pieces they produced. He said that on a good day he could make as much as $3. Bruce recalled how busy</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
the Laurelton State Bank was when payday rolled around at the foundry. The financial institution, located at 10 Weikert Road, was chartered about 1920 and continued to serve the banking needs of folks living in the West End until it merged with the Mifflinburg Bank in 1941.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When Bruce returned from his military service business at the Laurelton Foundry was on the decline. He was uncertain how much longer the foundry continued to operate. The names of some of the employees of the foundry during the time he worked there include: George Hauck, Bill Schnure, Les Kerstetter, Fred Kaler, David Gross,<b> Bruce Schnure, </b>Harry Pick, Chip Schell, Carl “Bup” Sampsell, Ray “Punchy” Shirk, Larue “Rat” Shirk, Percy Weidensaul, and Chas Hunter. </div>

WATSONTOWN — Demolition of the foundry which cast Lewisburg Borough’s distinctive threeglobe street light stanchions is underway.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Workers arrived Wednesday at what was once Watsontown Foundry in trucks lettered for Moran</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Industries and began the task of dismantling the site where the ancient craft was practiced.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The facility at Fifth and Ash streets in Watsontown waslast owned by Somerset Foundry, which ceased operations in Somerset one year ago. Select corporate assets of Somerset were bought in June 2012 by Whitman Castings, of Whitman, Mass.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Marty Kerrigan, of Whitman Castings, said Watsontown Foundry was known for the relatively simple process of sand casting, a technique for making useful objects out of iron which can be traced almost to the dawn of recorded history. “It still comes down to making a mold out of a tub of sand, packing it down and leaving a void in the sand after you take out a pattern of what you are going to cast,” he described. “In you pour the molten iron, and out comes the casting.” Kerrigan noted that at one time, foundries including the one he is currently associated with, were quintessential small businesses, often taking the name of the area where they were based.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“There used to be a foundry in almost every town,” Kerrigan said, but noted that the foundry business has changed perhaps more than any other classic smokestack industry.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“All of that has gone overseas,” he lamented, noting the growth of foundries in India, Pakistan and China. “Probably 70 percent of storm drains, scuppers and manhole covers are made overseas.”</div>
Modern heavy equipment was used to knock down the brick structures and metal framed equipment which made up the Watsontown Foundry<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">NO SOURCE - other researchers have him listed as William Michael Salter, son of John Salter</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1767–1840 & Sarah Ann Howe 1775–1827</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Abt 1817 - Mary Ann Shipp was born</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to census records, and childrens death certificates, she was born in PA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">UNSOURCED - thought to be the daughter of Michael and Catherine Ship. Michael Shipp 1794-1884, Catherine 1795-1880.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We do know that Mary Ann had a brother Henry, he is named repeatedly in the trial in 1883</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>1833 - Or Before - Immigrated to America</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If he was born in England, he had to immigrate here. His wife was born in PA, their first documented child was born in 1835. Every census and every childs death certificate states that he was born in England.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>1834 or Before - Married Mary Ann Shipp</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mary Ann was born in Pa, so we assume he did not marry her until after he was in PA. The 1834 date for their marriage is pure conjecture based on Michael being born in 1835.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The plaintiffs offers of testimony with the objections thereto and the rulings of the court thereon were as follows First Harry Shipp sworn and upon the witness stand The plaintiffs counsel propose to prove by this witness that he was the grantee in the deed from William Salter and wife dated the 14th day of August 1863 That prior to the execution and delivery of said deed William Salter who was then in ill health requested him to accept the deed from him and his wife in trust and to be held by him in trust for his<b> ten children</b> until his children paid a certain balance of purchase money and another small debt when he desired him to convey it to them that he accepted this trust and promised to hold the same in trust for his children and did so hold until the 28th day of April 1864 when he executed and delivered to Mary A Salter then the widow of William Salter deceased a deed for the same lots in trust for the children of William Salter</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> for whom he was to hold that the deed from him to Mary A Salter was accepted by her as trustee for the children and was by her to be held for them as their trustee that the debts mentioned by William Salter were paid before he made the deed to Mary A Salter by the children of William Salter This to be followed by proof that the sons of William Salter paid the indebtedness that William Salter had that they furnished a large sum of money to improve the property and erect buildings thereon and that two of them the present plaintiffs in this case furnished each the sum of five hundred dollars which went into the improving of this property that subsequently in the latter part of 1868 Mary A Salter the widow of William Salter married William Owen that she communicated to William Owen that she held this property to wit lots one two and three in block 197 in trust for the children of her former husband that afterward William Owen her husband procured secretly two deeds to be written one from William Owen and Mary A Owen his wife to one William A Morris having named therein fraudulently four hundred dollars as a consideration and another from William A Morris and wife back to William Owen This is to be followed by proof further that no purchase money was paid by William A Morris to William Owen and wife neither did William Owen pay any money whatever to William A Morris as consideration for the conveyance to him To be further followed by evidence showing that William Owen admitted that he had done wrong in procuring this deed to be made depriving or attempting to deprive </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">William Salter's children of the property that when he was charged with having forced his wife the former widow of William Salter to sign the deed from him and her to William A Morris ho admitted that the deed from him William Owen and Mary A Owen formerly Salter was signed by her under coercion and compulsion that this fact was known to William A Morris and that this trust in favor of the children of William Salter was also known to William A Morris that Mary A Salter the widow of William Salter recognized this trust and accepted the deed as trustee for the children of William Salter and was anxious to carry the trust out in good faith and did carry the same out until compelled to execute a deed to William A Morris that she protested against signing the deed because she held as trustee and that the property was the property of her children and not her own This for the purpose of showing title in this plaintiff The counsel for the defendant object 1 Because the evidence is in contradiction of the deeds which are already in evidence 2 That a trust must be evidenced in writing and cannot be established by parol proof alone 3 That the witnesses to wit Mary Salter and any of the parties upon the record in this case are not competent witnesses to establish the facts or any of them alleged in the offer 4 That William Owen and William Salter being dead the evidence is irrelevant and incompetent to affect the interest of cither of them 5 That the offer shows that the conveyance from William Salter to Henry Shipp was for the purpose of hindering and defrauding creditors and that neither William Salter nor his children can take advantage of any alleged fraud to affect the deed under which the title is vested in William Owen 6 That Henry Shipp being the grantee in the deed from William Salter and the grantor to Mary Ann Salter is not a competent witness to affect the deed and Mary A Salter being the wife of William Salter afterwards the wife of William Owen is not a competent witness to affect any interest of her husband under the conveyance already in evidence 7 The alleged trust is barred by the statue as it was created if at all in the year 1863 8 That the plaintiffs propose to show by their own offer that the alleged trust from William Salter to Henry Shipp was simply for the purpose of hindering delaying and defrauding creditors and that as between William Salter and Henry Shipp that deed passed the title and those claiming under Henry Shipp can hold it against William Salter or his children 9 Because Mary A Owen being the grantor in the deed to </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">William Salter cannot be called a3 a witness for the purpose of defeating her own conveyance 10 We further object that the offer is complicated and embraces matter which cannot be ruled in reference to the relevancy of the testimony to the competency of the witness upon the stand 11 Because it appears from the deed from Henry Shipp and wife to Mary A Salter that it is a conveyance of general warranty The plaintiffs add to their former offer the following First That at the death of William Salter he left to survive him ten children seven of whom were minors and plaintiffs in this case that they continued in possession of the premises during their minority up to and after the marriage with Owen and the execution of the deed from Morris to him and those who became of age made it their home and up to the time of the bringing of this suit that the last minor child one of the plaintiffs in this case only arrived at the age of twenty one years on the fourth of July 1881 that five of the plaintiffs were minors at the time of the execution of the alleged deed from Morris to Owen and that four of the plaintiffs were minors at the time of the institution of this suit The counsel for the defendants renew their objections to offer as amended for all the reasons as before stated Fer Ccriam It cannot be disputed that if a deed of land be made to A and B upon a parol trust that they will hold for the benefit of the grantor or a third person such parol trust cannot be enforced against the land in consequence of the 4th section of the Act of 22d April 1856 Pamphlet L 533 Marat's Administrators v Rynd 19 PF Smith 386 But if the purchase money is paid by the cestui que trust and he is in possession it is a trust by parol the title in the trustee and the cestui que trust in possession The limitation under which a parol trust cau be enforced does not apply when the cestui que trust is in possession Smith v Tome 18 PF Smith 158 The offer perhaps tends to show payment by the cestui que trust of something that was required of them to be paid at the time of the execution of the deed by their father William Salter to Henry Siiipp If such payment can be treated as payment of consideration money then a resulting trust would be established and if the cestuis que trust were in possession as offered to be proved the limitation in the Act of 1856 does not apply I have concluded to receive the evidence and decide upon the effect hereafter Before the Act of 1869 the witness Henry Shipp would not have been competent to testify he having given a deed with covenant of general warranty See the case of Goodman v Losey 3 W & S 526 That Act expressly </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">declares that no interest or policy of law suail exclnde a party or person from being a witness in any civil proceeding except that the Act amongst other things is not to apply when the assignor of the thing or contract inaction may be dead Now William Salter the witness's grantor is dead and I am of opinion that he the witness cannot testify to matters in relation to the deed or transaction that occurred during the lifetime of the deceased Sec Arthurs v King et al 3 Norris 525 So far as it is proposed to prove by this witness what occurred during the lifetime of William Salter in relation to the deed from said Salter to him is rejected Exception Second The plaintiffs having shown that Henry Shipp and wife executed a deed dated the 28th day of April 1864 to Mary A Salter now propose to prove by Henry Shipp the grantor that he conveyed the said property to Mary A Salter as trustee for the children of William Salter deceased that she accepted the said deed in trust for the children and promised to carry out the said trust with respect to the lots therein conveyed to wit 1 2 and 3 in block 197 in tho borough of Shamokin the said children of Mary A Salter and plaintiffs to this suit having paid certain liens against said property This to be followed by evidence showing that at the time this deed was executed and delivered to Mary A Salter there were living ten children of William Salter seven of whom were minors and were residing upon the property that these children who were at home and of age were also residing there that in October 1868 the said Mary A Salter married William this property conveyed by the above deed in trust for tho children of William Salter her former husband That afterwards William Owen her husband procured secretly and without her knowledge two deeds to be written one from William Owen and Mary A Owen his wife to one William Morris having fraudulently named therein four hundred dollars as the consideration and another from William Morris and wife to William Owen having fraudulently written therein the consideration of six hundred dollars that no purchase money was paid by William Morris to William Owen and wife that William Owen paid no money whatever to William Morris as a consideration for the conveyance back to him To be further followed by evidence showing that William Owen admitted that he had done wrong in procuring this deed to bo made depriving or attempting to deprive William Salter's children of the property that when he was charged with having forced his wife the former widow of William Salter to sign the deed from him and her to William Morris ho admitted that the deed from him William Owen and Mary A Owen Owen that she communicated formerly Salter was signed by her under coercion and compulsion that the trust in favor of the children of William Salter was known to William Morris at the time that Mary A Salter widow of William Salter recognized this trust and accepted the deed as trustee of the children of William Salter and was anxious to carry the trust out in good faith and did carry the same out until compelled to execute a deed to William Morris that she protested against signing the deed because she held the lots as trustee and because the property was the property of her children and not her own We propose further to show that at the time of the execution of the deed from Henry Shipp to Mary A Salter there were surviving ten children of William Salter her former husband seven of whom were minors and plaintiffs in this case that they continued in possession of the premises during their minority up to and after the marriage with Owen and the execution of the deed in favor of Morris to him that those who became of age and were unmarried made it their home up to the time of the bringing of this suit that one of the said minors only arrived at the age of twenty one years on the fourth day of July 1881 that five of the plaintiffs were minors at the time of the execution of the alleged deed from Morris to Owen and that four of the plaintiffs were minors at the time of the institution of this suit and that Mary A Salter the trustee was in possession at the time of the execution of said deed and remained in the possession of these premises from the time of the execution of the deed up to the time of the death of Owen and subsequently to the bringing of this suit We propose further to show that in pursuance of this trust the children of William Salter paid off certain debts and liens against the property that one of them advanced five hundred dollars money received by him while a soldier in the army and another a similar sum and appropriated it to the improvement of the property and that they afterwards applied their earnings in a similar manner The counsel for the plaintiffs propose further to show that saiJ Henry Shipp was a brother of Mary A Salter and uncle to the plaintiffs in this case This oifered for the purpose of showing titlo in these plaintiffs and their right to recover in this suit The counsel for the defendants object for all of the reasons stated in their former objection and because it is not offered to be shown that any possession was taken as held under the alleged trust By the Oonrt The only gronnd upon which the evidence offered could possibly be admissible since the Act of April 26th 1856 is that it may tend to show that Mary A Salter became a trustee ex maleficio by accepting the deed in trust for the children of William Salter deceased and promised to carry said trust with respect to the property in suit Perhaps if and hold the title for the children but afterwards conveyed property to a third party the case would come within the m the case of Church and wife v Rnland and wife 14 PF Smith 432 but I very mgch doubt it If it is so then it appears to me that in every instance where an absolute deed land is made to one upon a parol trust that he will hold the use of thegrantor or his children or a third party the must be enforced against the land notwithstanding the Act 1S56 In tike case of Muftit's Administrator v Rynd 19 1 F Smith 386 and Barnet v Daugherty 8 Casey 371 it was held that such a trust is not enforceable I am of opinion that the mere proof that there was a parol trust at the time of the execution of the deed there being no purchase money paid and no fraud in obtaining the title the grantee only agreeing to hold the land for the benefit of another cannot be proved by parol Such a trust must be manifested in writing The objections arc sustained and the evidence rejected Exception </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Third Mary A Owen on the stand but not sworn The plaintiffs counsel propose to prove by this witness that she was the widow of William Salter and the mother of the ten children left to survive him in 1863 plaintiffs in this case that a few days before the death of her husband William Salter a deed was made by William Salter and herself to wit on the 14th clay of August 1863 to Henry Shipp that her husband William Salter and herself executed this deed to Henry Shipp in trust for the said children of Mary Salter and upon the express promise of Henry Shipp that he would accept the deed in trust for the children and that he would convey it to them upon the payment by them of certain liens and small debts against the real estate named by him that Henry Shipp accepted the trust and promised to carry the trust out The said Salter relying upon this promise and reposing confidence in the said Henry Shipp his brother in law he executed and delivered the said deed that afterwards the said debts and liens were paid by the plaintiffs the children of William Salter for whom the property was held in trust and that Henry Shipp the grantee in said deed on the 2Sth day of April 1864 with his wife executed and delivered to her the deed for the same property being the lots in question one two and three in block 197 in Shamokin borough in trust for said children and upon her promise that she would hold the same as their trustee for their benefit and that she promised to ac ssly promised to take the cept the said trust as their trustee and hold it for them in trust and that upon this promise the said deed was delivered to her that in pursuance of this trust and under this deed she and a portion of her children have been in possession of said premises from that day until suit was brought that at the time of the death of William Salter and making of the said deed to Henry Shipp and the reconveyance to her in trust for the said children seven of the said children were minors and that the last one of the said children arrived at the age of twenty one years on the 4th of July 1881 That in addition to the payment of the debts and the liens spoken of two of the said children contributed the sum of one thousand dollars out of the pay for their service as soldiers in the army and transmitted their pay ako as soldiers which was used in enlarging and improving the buildings and upon these lots of ground that their earnings subsequently were appropriated in the same manner that these payments were made and improvements erected by the said children prior to her marriage with William Owen on the 31st day of October 1868 This is for the purpose of showing the right of the plaintiffs in this suit to recover in this action The defendants counsel object for all the reasons before statcd and because the witness is incompetent to testify to any matter arising between her and her husband William Salter deceased or William Owen deceased her husband and because she is incompetent to affect the title under the deeds already in evidence We further object because the offer is in substance the same as that which the court has already overruled Per Curiam The court has already ruled see offer No 1 that plaintiffs can prove the matter set forth in this offer in order to establish a resulting trust at the time of the execution of the deed from William Salter to Henry Shipp although I now doubt the correctness of such ruling as the evidence offered could scarcely be said to show the payment of consideration money at the time of the execution of the deed but we are of opinion that the witness is incompetent to testify to the matters offered to be proved The objections are sustained exception Fourth William Heaton on the stand In connection with offer No 2 the plaintiffs propose to prove by this and other witnesses that William Morris to whom William Owen and wife made a deed on the 2d day of March 1869 admitted that he paid no money or other valuable thing as consideration for the said deed to him and that no money was needed and that Mary A Owen the wife of William Owen at that time was compelled to sign the deed and execute it through compulsion of her husband Also that William Owen grantee in the deed from William Morris and wife dated the 2d day of March 1869 when charged in the presence of witnesses with having compelled his wife to sign the deed to William Morris admitted that he had done so and that it was wrong and when his wife at this time charged him with having compelled her to sign the deed stated that he knew he did and at the time he thought it was right that she had done nothing wrong that he did it all that he was sorry for it and hoped the plaintiffs would forgive him and that he would see the children made all right and the lots conveyed back to him This for the purpose of showing that the defendants are trustees ex maleficio and that William Owen their father from whom they derived their interest if they have any was fully cognizant that the property was the property of the plaintiffs held in trust for them by Mary A Salter and also to show the plaintiffs right to recover The defendants counsel object for all the reasons heretofore stated in offers Nos 1 2 and 3 And also because a The court has already decided that a trust cannot be created by parol without violating the provision of the Act of Assembly of 1856 b Because the court has already ruled that evidence of a similar character to that contained in this offer would not create a trust ex maleficio that the trust if any created would be in violation of the provisions of the Act of Assembly of ISofl c That it is not proposed to prove by this offer that the defendants in this case who are the children of William Owen were present at or assented to or had any knowledge of any transaction between William Owen and William Morris or either of them that they cannot be affected by any acts or declarations of William Owen or William Morris made in their absence and that no such conversation can make them trustees ex maleficio of the land in dispute d Because it is not competent to establish a trust by mere declarations of the vendee in a deed absolute upon its face e Because the declarations of William Owen proposed to be proven would not make him a trustee ex maleficio and such declarations would not be competent evidence to establish a trust By the Court The objections are sustained the evidence rejected and the plaintiffs except The court charged the jury as follows Inasmuch as there is no evidence before the court and jury tending to show title to the property in question in the plaintiffs in this case we direct you to find a verdict in favor of the defendants Verdict accordingly for the defendants and judgment thereon The plaintiffs took this writ of error assigning for error the rejection of their several offers of evidence as above SP Wolverton and Samuel Linn for the plaintiffs in error The witness Henry Shipp though the grantor in the general warranty deed of April 28th 1884 to Mary A Salter was called to testify against his interest and he was therefore competent he would have been competent before the Act of 1869 If we had been permitted to prove our offer which must here be accepted as proved that Mary A Salter accepted the deed from Shipp under theexpress promise that she would hold the title in trust for the plaintiffs and would convey to them and she refused or neglected to fulfill the promise on the faith of which it was executed we contend that a court of equity would enforce the trust and compel a conveyance in accordance with its terms Does the fact that William Owen her subsequent husband coerced her into the execution of a deed to him in violation of the trust and with the full knowledge of its provisions place him or his children in any better position than she was She Owen and his children the defendants would be trustees ex maleficio and not protected by the statute of frauds and perjuries and ejectment is the proper remedy to enforce such a trust Church v Roland 14 PFS 432

Thome McFarlane & Co v Warfflein 4 Out 519 Henry Shipp and Mary Salter were incompetent witnesses Goodman v Losev 3 W & S 526 Grouse v Staley 3 WNC 83 Murray v N Y &c RR Go 13 WNC 213 Mr Justice Gordon delivered the opinion of the court October 1st 1883 When an action of ejectment is brought two things are necessarily presupposed one is that the plaintiff is not in the possession of the land described in the writ and the other is that the defendant is in the possession of the land so described The action is in its character possessory it cannot be maintained by one having the possession of the property neither can it be maintained against one who has not possession Moreover the cardinal principle governing actions of this kind is that the plaintiff must recover if at all on the strength of his own title and not upon the weakness of that of his adversary The defendant has in the first instance nothing whatever to do upon his possession he may securely rest until the plaintiff shows a better right and until such right has been shown he cannot be disturbed From this it follows that as to the status of the parties to this suit at the time of the issuing of the writ there can be no debate the defendants were in the possession of the property and the plaintiffs were not and to have successfully proposed any thing else would simply have been to put the plaintiffs out of court Such being the case the rule applies that until the plaintiffs show a better right to that possession than that of the defendants the latter cannot be disturbed in the occupancy of the controverted premises It would however not be a fair presentation of this case to say that the defendants rest solely on their possession for they have shown a regular prima facie title from William and Mary Ann Salter the common grantors through William Owen to themselves The question then remains have the plaintiffs shown title in themselves i And for the purposes of this case it must be conceded that they could have proved what they offered to prove Now the material part of the plaintiffs offers amounts to this that William Salter on the 14th of August 1863 voluntarily executed a deed for the premises in controversy to Henry Shipp who agreed orally to hold the same in trust for Salter a ten children until they paid a certain balance of purchase money and another small debt that he did so hold it until said indebtedness was paid by Salter's sons and then upon the 28th of April 1864 deeded it to Mary A then widow of William Salter under a verbal agreement or understanding that she would hold it in trust for the aforesaid children We may here stop for by passing over the proof proposed for the purpose of impeaching her deed to her second husband William Owen we not avoid a question involving the admissibility of her testimony but by an admission of title in their alleged trustee put case on the best possible grounds for the plaintiffs But when all this is admitted we have in Mrs Salter Owen but a parol trust which by force of the 4th section of the of the 22d of April 1856 was void from its inception declarations or creations of trusts or confidences reads statute of any lands tenements or hereditaments and all grants and assignments thereof shall be manifested by writing signed by the party holding the title thereof or by his last will in writing or else be void This language is all embracing and so clear and positive that the legislative intent cannot be mistaken Unless therefore this case can be brought within that provision of the statute which excepts trusts resulting from legal implication or construction commonly called resulting trusts the plaintiffs have no title But in order to accomplish this result it must be shown that Mrs Salter obtained the deed to the property in dispute by some kind of fraud or artifice which induced its execution But nothing of the kind has been proposed All that is alleged is that she agreed to hold it in trust for her children Bnt we cannot see how it would bo possible to create a parol trust under any other conditions If such a trust is not within the statute then there can be none that comes within it For if a deed like the one before us absolute on its face be made to one who receives it and docs not agree to hold it in trust there is and can be no trust for the statute to operate upon the transaction begins and ends in an unqualified conveyance Bound therefore as we must bo by the spirit and letter of the statute we can but repeat what was held as law in the case of Barnet v Dougherty 8 Ca 372 that a resulting trust can only arise from some fraudulent act by or through which the title had been obtained or by the payment of the money of the alleged use party for the purchase of the property at the time when the conveyance is made and that neither subsequent fraud nor subsequent payment will avail to raise such a trust Nor is this case at all like that of Church v Ruland 14 PFS 432 where the devise was made through the active solicitation and persuasion of the devisee and under the solemn promise that at her death one half of it should go to her sister's children Mrs Salter took no active part in the creation of this trust It is not pretended that she by either solicitations or promises induced the execution of the deed from her husband to Shipp or from Shipp to herself Therefore though the above case goes far towards the destruction of a most valuable statute especially designed for the quieting of titles to real estate yet it does not go far enough to cover this case But it is urged that she is willing to execute this trust if so it follows that neither in act nor even in intent has she heen guilty of a fraud prior or subsequent to the execution of the deed from Shipp to herself How then can she be said to be a trustee ex maleficio And what is there to prevent the operation of the statute And if the title to the premises in question and the right of possession are in Mrs Salter how cau the plaintiffs who have neither maintain ejectment Nor can we understand why they have undertaken such an experiment as this when according to their own showing they might have had her title for the asking A title which if the proposed proof be taken as true never passed out of her If the deed of March 2d 1869 executed by herself and husband to William Morris was without consideration and designed as it appears to have been simply as a means employed to pass her title to her husband and if in addition it can be made to appear that she did not voluntarily execute and deliver that instrument then as between herself and the heirs of her late husband the transaction was a fraud on her rights and was wholly inoperative and nugatory Clothed with her title the plaintiffs would have had a good standing to maintain their action and if they could have established the above stated proposition by the necessary facts they would no doubt have gotten a verdict for the premises in dispute Standing however as they now do without title they cannot of right complain of the rulings of the court below The judgment is affirmed TnuNKEy and Sterrett JJ dissented </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Made of wood and bound with iron, the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Producing wheels requires strength,
ingenuity, and the talents of both a carpenter and a blacksmith. Precise
measuring skills are mandatory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Like their Williamsburg predecessors,
the wheelwrights who practice the trade at the Governor's Palace today start
with a hub fashioned on a lathe from properly aged wood such as elm. A tapered
reamer opens the center to receive a metal bearing; The wheelwright uses a
chisel to create rectangular spoke holes around the circumference of the wheel.
Carved from woods like ash, the spokes radiate to meet a rim of mortised wooden
arches, called "fellies," that join to form a perfect circle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">The blacksmith supplies a big hoop of
iron precisely matched to the distance around the fellies. The wheelwright
heats the iron tire, which expands just enough to be coaxed on with a heavy
hammer. He then douses the wheel with water, which causes the iron tire to
shrink a bit, which in turn binds the assembly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My father, John Folin, was in the
American Revolution as a sailor from Virginia, as I have heard him tell many
times. From numerous reminiscenes that I have heard him repeat, I judge
that he embarked as a sailor at Bellhaven now called Alexandria, Virginia, and
that not long after his ship was attacked by a British vessel and chased for
three days. He said that the balls fell thick and fast all around him and
at first he was greatly scared but soon got so he did not mind it. His vessel
was captured and he was taken to England with the other prisoners and held a
year, then for some reason they were taken to the rock of Gibraltar and kept
about about a year, when they were transferred to a British man-of-war in the
same vicinity, where they remained for near another year. The idea
probably was to have them aid the British in the defense of Gibraltar during
the "Great Siege," the great fortress then undergoing a four year
investment by the combined forces of France and Spain. As my father was a
Scotch-Irishman he was claimed the choice of taking the oath of allegiance to
King George III of a flogging. He chose the latter, and was tied to a grating
and given thirty-nine lashes on his bare back. On the man-of-war they were
often flogged for very trivial offenses.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Frequently heard
father speak of a man by the name of Adams from Philadelphia. While near
Gibraltar Adams formed a plot to get away. The plan was to take the boat that
belonged to the vessel and escape to the mainland. The plot was detected and
Adams whipped three times with a doctor standing by each time to say how much
he could stand and he was kept confined for a long time. Adams said: "The next
time they would whip me; I'll go or die!" Finally he found a good
opportunity. It was the custom it seems to keep the arms in a locked
compartment. One day while nearly all the ship's crew was eating dinner Adams
gave his friends a signal, the arms-house was locked, the guards overpowered,
and Adams jumped into the boat and had a knife at the throat of the marine
there. The others jumped in, the marine was put out and they rowed. Adams stood
up and waved his handkercheif at those on the ship. They were fired on and
Adams called loudly "Pull, boys! Pull!" He was the only one who was
struck, but they got away and home to America. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those left on
the ship, including my father, were treated harder than ever. in speaking
of the whipping of Adams father said he bore it well, never even grunting. An
officer standing by on one occasion, said: "Lay it on; damn
rebel!" Adams replied: "I have a wife and children in
Philadelphia and if you were in my place would you not try to get to them?"
The only reply was "Give it to him!" <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Father spoke of
the fine climate in the region of Gibraltar. There, as well as in England, they
were given a chance to take the oath of allegiance to the British Crown. It
seems that before father's vessel was captured they were going to Cadiz.
While prisoners in England they were sometimes whipped and they had very little
to eat. One day a butcher came into the prison followed by a fat bull
dog. The boys soon had the dog skinned and father tried to get a piece of the
meat but failed. The prisoners had a peculiar way of making money part of the
time. One or two would escape and go to a certain house where the proprietor
would hide them for a few days, waiting for the reward, when the runaways would
be returned. The next day half of the reward would come back to them inside a
loaf of bread or some such way. They managed to make an endless
chain of it. Near the close of the Revolution father was on a cartel for
exchange and he was taken to Philadelphia for that purpose. He walked all the
way home from there, through Baltimore and Georgetown. He said he craved milk
all the time and got plenty of it, begging for food until he reached
home. Father was about 17 years of age when he went to the war. When I
was a small boy there were two swords at home and I used to play soldier with
them. I do not know their history. Joseph, my younger brother, had
a large drum such as was used by the military and he learned how to beat it
like a regular drummer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have heard at
least a half a dozen men from Washington and Georgetown urge father to apply
for a bounty and a pension under the law. His reply always was: "No,
I don't need it; my Government is poor and I can get along without it." <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As early as 1911, a bridge between Watsontown and White Deer was being discussed. But the war made costs especially high, and the project was tabled for many years. In 1925, new plans were being discussed, and the Shamokin Coal area was not pleased that "just 400 residents" might get a new bridge "connecting two insignificant hamlets", while there were long stretches south of sunbury with no bridge access. At this time, the coal region produced the bulk of the counties tax revenue, and at one point they even considered breaking off and joining Union county over this bridge issue. The Mount Caramel Item and Shamokin New Dispatch were both extremely critical of the bridge project - but they were not alone. The bridge project had to actually be taken to the state supreme court, twice, before it was built. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Northumberland county was to assume 85% of the cost of the bridge, with Union County paying the additional 15%. Estimated cost was $400.000 and 15% of that cost was repeatedly reported as enough to bankrupt union county.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In April of 1925 the headline read "Bridge Issue Is Pushed By Union County". People of Union County had employed counsel from Williamsport, to get the bridge built. Less than a year later, in March of 1926, the headline read "Union County Will Take Up Fight Against River Bridge". The second article elaborates "The stand of Union county against the bridge involves the alleged heavy expense of building an approach to the White Deer end of the proposed bridge. Not only would Union county have to make an extensive fill, but a new creek bridge a the approach of the river bridge will also be required. Union county officials say this work will cost nearly $100,000 in addition to their share of the regular bridge costs, and that the county</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> is unable to finance the work." </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In later articles, from the bridges completion</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> in July of 1928 all the way into 1930, the swampy incomplete</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> road on the white deer side of the bridge continues to be an issue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The same article in March of 1926 explains why this bridge is wanted - not only would it cut 21 miles off ,trips "to the west", but it would provide Watsontown connection to the Reading Railroad. "Watsontown residents have been jubilant over their victory in the courts to secure the bridge. It would be of untold benefit to them, providing connection with the Reading railroad on the west side of the river, it was pointed out yesterday, and would tap a large farming district. School children must cross the river from the west shore to Watsontown, it is pointed out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Watsontown is one of the most important industrial towns of its size in this section, ikt is pointed out, and is the largest carload lot shipper along the Reading line between Williamsport and Philadelphia. Thirty five million bricks were produced in Watsontown last year, and in addition wood working plants in the town were large shippers."</span><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While the bridge was being built, one worker plummeted from the structure, avoiding death but severely injured. A deer carcass was recovered during construction, and charges were being filed. (We regularly have deer carcasses dumped on our farm, if it is illegal, it's no longer a law that is enforced. I'm unclear on the issue here - was the deer out of season, or was the issue the dumping of the carcass?) In early 1928, builder George Rockwell took a trip to Florida, and he did not return until the county settled a debt of nearly $300,000 for the bridges construction. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the completion of the bridge in July of 1928, Rockwell was heralded for his quick and well done build. But just a few days after the bridge was dedicated, Rockwell closed the structure, as it had not been inspected by both counties. Even after it was inspected, there was no completed road on the white deer side, and there were reports of merchants crossing the bridge only to have to turn back around because of the mud and water on the white deer side. Additionally, the Reading Railroad had not completed a bridge so that it could cross the creek - that did not occur until 1930.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Controversy continued for years after the bridges completion, with the Shamokin and Mt Caramel newspapers criticizing the structure in nearly every other issue. If there was ever discussion of a tax increase, or a poor road condition, the article was sure to blame the Watsontown Bridge. In 1930 the state took control of the county bridges.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Below are many news articles regarding the creation of the bridge. This is not nearly all of them, even though there are many here. This issue was a very large one in local news for several years.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My husband Daniel's 6th great grandfather, <a href="http://heathersgen.blogspot.com/2013/09/johan-sebastian-truckenmiller-1715-1795.html">Sebastian Truckenmiller,</a> came to America in 1732. He married, and had 8 children. My husband is descended from Sebastian's youngest son, Jacob. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sebastian's second son, George, married Susanna Lohr. Although it's not the only time Truckenmiller was written as Druckenmiller, George's children all appear to use the Druckenmiller spelling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Although there are other Druckenmiller and Truckenmiller lines that came to America at later dates, and there are other times that Truckenmiller was spelled Druckenmiller (or Druckenmueler) many Druckenmiller's in our area can trace their line back to George Truckenmiller, son of immigrant Sebastian Truckenmiller.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">240 cars, and 2,500 people came out to celebrate the opening of the new road between Danville and Turbotville. The Danville Band, Boy Scout Drums, and Bugle and Levites School of Music took part, on the beds of trucks, in the parade.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The parade formed in Turbotville, with cars joining in at Washingtonville, and a contingent from Elysburg and Mt Carmel joined in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Rev Mr Clark welcomed the crowd to Turbotville, declaring the day inwich dreams came true. He predicted the road would bring neighbors closer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It took 5 years to complete the 2.6 mile stretch, which included 4 bridges - one 38 foot span across the Chillisquaque creek, and three 12 foot bridges.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1930 6 miles from Washingtonville towards Turbotville was built for $200,000.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1928 a two mile section from Turbotville to the Susquehanna Trail was built, at a cost of $100,000. In 1927 two miles from Washingtonville to Danville was built at a cost of $84,000.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 1778 the Revolutionary War was well under way. Native Americans in north and central Pennsylvania allied with the Loyalists, and were devastating small communities along the susquehanna river. Most of the settlers fled their homes and relocated to Fort Augusta, while the Indians burn their houses and farms to the ground. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I do not know the exact date that the Chillisquaque Presbyterian church was burnt, but we do know it was the same year of the battle at nearby Fort Freeland, and it appears to have been the result of the same conflict.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"By 1779 Northumberland County was on the edge of the American frontier and Native Americans who sided with the British during the war had brought the conflict to local settlers. George Washington had ordered Major General John Sullivan to invade the Iroquoian homeland in order to relieve the pressure on the frontier, but before he could complete his campaign, attacks were made in New York and Pennsylvania in hopes that Sullivan would divide his force and make his army a less formidable foe to the Iroquois." </span><a href="http://freelandfarm.org/battle-of-fort-freeland/" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://freelandfarm.org/battle-of-fort-freeland/</a></div>

"Imagination cannot conceive the perils with which the early settlers of this country were surrounded. Never could they have a consciousness of security safe throw trust in the Lord of hosts. The vast forest which surrounded them on all sides with a working place of the savage treacherous treacherous merciless Indian. Any hour of the night or when the day in overpowering numbers they might be upon them. When leaving home they could hardly ever be sure it would not be to find upon returning their wives and children put to the scalping knife or which was perhaps even worse scary captive by the savages and their homes and ashes. When they enjoyed the sharing precious privilege of meeting in their little church for worship or when they went out into their little stuffy field to read their small crop they must take their rifles along for defense against the scalp king Evil Joe. Time came when the ever present danger seem so greatly to increase that they had to leave their homes and fleet of one of the small for which the government head cause to be constructed along the river. Probably it would be to Ford Augusta at Sunbury that seems to have been the strongest one among in them.

One of the fathers of mine yesterday tells me that his own maternal grandparents mr. And mrs. Session while sleeping with their bad for safety to one of their forwards were overtaken by some Indians. The child was killed his wife was left as it was supposed dead. And Mr Dawson was taken captive. Some friends found her lying there still alive. They took her to Fort Augusta. She recovered her husband some years after work either escaped or was exchanged infirmity years after where they lived as members of this church. Another father among us tells me that grandfather and grandmother Curry were riding along a path through the woods on the other side of Montour Ridge when attacked by some savages. First two sources shot and he has murdered and scalped. Soon after her horse made with similar fate and she is caught and lead away over the mountain several miles distant. But the following night she escapes and reaches her little home the next morning where her little children, the eldest seven, had stayed alone. He knows nothing of such experience.

One day of one of the years of the war the sad news started through the congregation that their church was in ashes. A company of cowardly Indians and set it on fire. The people that work hard in their property to get it. It was yet new. It was a precious place the house of God to more than a few of the people. Tears were shed as I told and heard a sad story. That's where they called the passed through many changes and trials. For years they were without any building. During those years of war sacrifice and suffering it is likely they had but little preaching. Whenever a minister did make the perilous journey through the woods to give them a day is preaching they would meet and worship there among the trees." <a href="http://www.charlottes-web.com/Chillis_History.pdf">http://www.charlottes-web.com/Chillis_History.pdf</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><i>Justin Kirk Houser, the expert on the Confer family, lists <a href="http://heathersgen.blogspot.com/2011/05/jacob-confer-1825.html">Jacob (Heather's 3rd great maternal grandfather)</a> as a son of Philip and Margaretha Haines. (see notes at bottom of this post) Jacob's death certificate, filled out by his daughter Malinda (Confer) Welliver, lists his father as Peter, mother as Unknown. Death certificates are not always accurate - but until I find other proof, I have to assume Peter is the father of Jacob, not Philip.</i></span><br />

Hileman</span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">On </span></span><st1:date day="22" month="6" year="1820"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">the 22nd of June, 1820</span></span></st1:date><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">, I was born in the log cabin which Grandfather Milligan had built when the country was almost a wilderness. I was the youngest of nine children. When grandparents established their residence in this three room log cabin, the Indians occasionally made raids on the settlement from their hunting grounds on the head waters of the </span></span><st1:place><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">Susquehanna River</span></span></st1:place><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">, beyond the Alleghenies. One of the worst of the raids of which Grandfather told me, was attended with the massacre of the HOWSER AND OLRAY families. Only two of the Howser families escaping the tomahawk and scalping knife, and these two were taken captive. They were very young children. They remained with the Potawatomies until forty years later, when the government in removing a tribe to the western reserve where what is now the state of </span></span><st1:state><st1:place><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">Ohio</span></span></st1:place></st1:state><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">, discovered JOACHIM AND RACHEL HOWSER who were now grown to middle age. Rachel was the wife of a Chief; Joachim, who had refused to marry a squaw, though he was made a chief by virtue of his bravery in the fight with the York State Indians in which the chief was killed by Joachim.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">When told of the massacre of their parents and friends by the Potawatomies, when they were taken capture so long before, they were dazed and almost unable to comprehend the situation. However, their liberators prevailed upon them to return to their homeland, and scenes of their childhood, in the hope of that memory, when upon the scenes of their childhood, they would recall something to their minds of the time before the terrible time of their capture. Can we realize the feelings of these two unfortunate people as they were liberated from the Indians? Rachel being the mother of several papooses. Of course she was in the most trying of situation, for she had a mothers love for her children while they were plainly of Indian blood.</span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">They returned to the beautiful and peaceful </span></span><st1:place><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">Juniata</span></span></st1:place><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;"> valley amidst the splendid mammoth oaks, the shell bark hickory, the sycamore and the gigantic black walnuts. The swallows flitted over the stream, and the brownthirst sang in the midst of the bough just as they did forty years before, while this man and woman were barefoot children rollicking in their childish glee. In the presence of this scene much of it remained as it was in their childhood, but nothing was distinctly recalled to their memory, though they thought they could recall some glimpses of the past.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">What a sad situation, the memories which might have heaved their bosom of motion, and pained their hearts, are not manifested in their beholding the scenes of their childhood. There remain in the neighborhood a few who will always remember the terrible ordeal, when these two were so cruelly taken from them; and these people tried to suggest things to their memory, but nature had almost sealed the past of that day to them. They remained but a little while until they returned to Potawatomies, to live and to die with them, far beyond the Alleghenies, in what is now the state of </span></span><st1:state><st1:place><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">Ohio</span></span></st1:place></st1:state><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black;">.</span></span><span style="color: black;"><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">Father said that several attempts had been made to find the captives but without success. The greatest attempt to do so was when a band of the strongest and the bravest of Huntingdon County ventured into the country of the Potawatomies at Cherry Tree, and while reconnoitering there one, of the strongest and the bravest of the party was suddenly surprised and taken captive by the very Indians whom they were hunting for.</span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">Fortunate it was for JAKE CONFARE that he was so cool headed and brave. His companions soon discovered footprints in the forest and immediately decided that they were those of Jake's captures or slayers. They redoubled their efforts now to overtake them, if possible, but the wile red men escaped their pursuers without allowing themselves to be seen by the white men. They took their captive to their tribe on their hunting grounds in the pine groves of Kittatinny, and here JAKE awaited his fate or a chance to escape.</span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">He lived with them for a year and a half without once events any desire to escape. But some traders came along with some ice skates, and they traded them to the Indians without the Indians having any idea how to use them, and Jake also pretended not to know. So one day while out wobbling about on his skates, he took a chance, and took off skating down the river. Obviously the Indians couldn't catch him, and so he made his escape.</span><br /><br /><span class="apple-style-span">The joy throughout the neighborhood was unbounded when the word was sent around of Jake's escape. The whole community had been in despair after the return of his companions without him. His account of his life while in captivity among the Potawatomie gave intense interest to young and old for many a day. At the time of the return of Rachel and Joachim, Jake Confare and Grandpa were old men. When the brother and his sister returned to the Indians to live the remainder of their lives, it was almost more than Jake and Grandfather could stand. They hated the Potawatomies, and in fact, all of the Indians so intensely.</span></span></span><br />

Jonathan was my 1st cousin 6x removed. The story below was written by him and includes much information about the Bowman Families.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Jonathan Bowman must have written his history about 1902.
This statement is based on the fact that he said Samuel, son of Jacob
Bowman, Jr. , was 75 years old at that time. The history was written
with pencil, using a coarse-type of tablet paper, now yellowing with
age." -<span style="font-size: x-small;">Mary Ellen Bowman, history of the Klinger Church, 1975</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>"LIFE OF JONATHAN BOWMAN" </b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My father's name was Samuel Bowman, but he spelled his name Bauman.
He was born in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania and resided there
till he moved to Ohio In the spring of 1817. I am not able to tell just
when he was born, but I presume In about 1780. The records were all
burned when Isaac's house was burned, but he got married when he was
about 27 years old. Mother was about five years younger, that I mind
from hearsay. They had four children in Pennsylvania, Daniel, Jacob,
Joseph and Samuel, Samuel was only a few months old when they moved to
Ohio, Jacob died in Pennsylvania when about two years old.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> When they moved to Ohio in the spring of 1817, there were quite a lot
of them. It took about four weeks to make the trip. They all slept
In their covered wagons and done their own cooking. Each family had a
cow and a big dog, I will give you their names, as far as I can remember,
Samuel Bowman and family, Jacob Bowman and family, John Bowman and family,
Jacob Clark and family, (John) Daniel Clark and family, and there was
a Geise and family (Samuel Geise), John Bowman and the Geise families
lived one year where we live, and then moved back to Pennsylvania,
Samuel Bowman lived one year southwest of Canton (Ohio), about one mile
from the public square on the west side of Nimeshillin Creek, in a log
cabin, then moved in the woods where my brother Isaac lives now. Jacob
Bowman moved to Pike Township, where my cousin, Samuel Bowman lives.
Jacob Clark was married to a sister of Samuel Bowman, and lived east of
them till his death. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.
Of Daniel Clark, I know but very little , I mind of seeing him, and that is all . At one time , he lived where Mr. Tinkler now lives, but
what became of him, I do not know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> My mother's name was Mary Hagdalena Klinger, and was born and raised
in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania , but i n what part of the county, I do
not know, but they used to direct their letters to Gratztown, Dauphin
County, Pennsylvania, There viere some other towns not far off, I mind
of hearing them telling of Klingerstown and Pottsville . There was a
stream of water that ran through Grandfather Klinger's farm, which they
called Klinger's Gap, but the name of the stream, I do-i not know. I
recollect of hearing mother telling that on Sundays, they would go to
oat huckleberries on Brand Mountain and Blue Mountain, and that they
used to fish in the Susquehanna River to catch the shad. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Grandfather Klinger and Grandmother, I know but very little . I do
not know what her name was before she was married, but of their children,
I know. I saw all except two, John Philip was the oldest of the boys,
and when I was about eight or ten years old, he and his family came west
and stopped with our folks about one week to rest. And then, they went
to Michigan where Peter lived. They stayed there some years, and then
moved to Sadallia, Missouri, and when the Mormons came there, they all
united with them, and that was the last we heard of them, but Alexander
Klinger told me that some of the children are living in Salt Lake City,
Peter was next, and he and Daniel, his youngest brother, went to Era,
Pennsylvania shortly after the War of 1812 and stayed there some years,
and Daniel died there . Then, Peter went to Little Sandusky, Ohio and got married there. From there, he moved to Mottville, Michigan and
entered 640 acres of land, and cleared some, and built a gristmill and
sawmill. Then his wife died. He and the children went to Washington
in 1841 to the Inauguration of President W. H, Harrison,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> There were three girls of the Klingers, Hannah married Jacob Bowman, who
lived in Pike Township. He was older than ray father. They had four boys
and five girls, John was the oldest, Henry next, Jacob, and Samuel. The
oldest girl married Bonebrake, two of them married Millers, and two of
them married Florys. They are all dead except Samuel, who lives on the
old homestead. He is 75 years old, but looks about five or ten years
older. He has got his third wife. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next is my mother. She had twelve children, all boys. Eight were born
one mile south of this place, namely, David, Jonathan, twins who died in
their (first year). Next was Abraham, who died when about three years old
with croup, John died when about the same age with croup, Benjamin, who
lives in Iowa, he was first married to a Rodabaugh, They separated. He
is married again, but I do not know her name. Isaac, the youngest, lives
on the old homestead and has his second wife and one child, not the one
that was born in Pennsylvania,
Daniel, the oldest, was married to Susanna Lovell, Both lived to be very
old, about 83 years old, and some of the children lives between Robertsville
and Hapleton. Joseph was married twice, first to Eve Bortz. They
moved to Indiana, where his wife died. He got married again and lived a
few miles west of Auburn, Indiana, where he died when he was about 63
years old. Samuel was married to Hannah Epley in I838, and lived in Iowa for many
years in Eldora, and died the first of March, 1902. His wife is living
yet at that place.
I am getting this mixed a little. David was the first they got in Ohio.
He was born in the log cabin in 1819, married Catharine Tommes and died
when about 57 years old. His wife died when about 77 years old. Both
are buried at Canton. The children are all dead, except two of the boys.
Jonathan was born in 1821, In the log cabin on the old homestead, married
Eliza Jane Kelley, daughter of Col. Richard Kelley. Had six children,
three girls and three boys, the oldest boy died when a little over one
year old of diptheria.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Now, about my grandfather Bowman, I know but very little. Don't know
his first name or who he was married to, but I know some of the names of
their children and who they married. I will commence with the boys first.
There was a John, who I mentioned before, but I know not who he married,
but I mind of seeing one of his boys about 65 years ago. He had come
to my father's on a visit, and Jacob Bownan of Fike, who was married to
Hannah Klinger, an older sister of my mother, mentioned before.
Samuel, my father comes next. I did mention that before,he died when
about 74 years old and my mother was about 77 years old when she died.
Both are buried at Hapleton, on the hill.
There was a Henry, the youngest of the boys, who lived on the old homestead,
but that is all I know about him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the girls was married to a Harter. This Andrew Harter of Osnaburg,
she was his great grandmother, and one was married to Jacob Clark,
and the youngest was married to Peter Redinger (Hettinger), Both are
buried at Osnaburg, and the Clarks are burled at Paris,
The Clarks' family are all dead, and so are the Redingers, except one
Mrs. Manda --- of Osnaburg. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I forgot to mention that Jacob
and Hannah Bowman are buried on their own land. There is a log church
and a small cemetery on the farm. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My Grandfather Bowman must have lived close to the Susquehanna River,
for my father used to talk so much about fishing in that river in the
daytime, and after night, they would set their nets in the evening,
and in the morning, get buckets full of fish, mostly shad, in the
spring of the year, I cannot recollect anything of their names or of
towns or post office. They used to write Henry, but of their post office
address, I know nothing, except the County was Northumberland, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When my folks moved to where Uncle Isaac lived, that was in the spring
of 1818, him and Uncle Clark entered It in partnership. The Land Office
was then in Steubenville (Ohio), and then, they divided it north and
south. Father got the west end, Clark got the east. They then came
from Canton and put up two cabins, one on the west and the other on the
east side of the Bill, so each one had a good spring of water. After
After they had their cabins up, they moved their families in. They
had clapboard roof on, butt no floor, after they moved in. They drove
small posts In the ground. They laid poles across to put their beds
on. Then the next, they put up a stick and a chimney and out of oak logs, they split puncheons and (dryed ?) one side smooth and laid the
floor, and took shaved clapboards and made a door, and next, they chunked
and daubed it. Ours had two windows in on the north, had three lights
onthe south, had six lights, eight by ten inches. The house was about
seven feet high.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We lived there till 1828, when they built a big hewed
log house, two stories high. When they first commenced there, there
was no body living close. There were a few houses along the State Road
and a few along Black Stream, but in one year, John Wolf and Adam Shull
moved in, and in two years, John Dice, Kelley, Kooper, Crowl, Lutz and
Deid Stoodabeker moved in. He lived where Dewalt now lives, and in a
few years, there were plenty of neighbors,
I recollect my father, Wolf, and Shull were asked to join together to
go for salt to Yellow Creek, towards the Ohio River. They would go in
a covered wagon and sleep in it. They would take provisions and feed
along. It would take them about three days to make the trip. When they
came back, each one had about a bushel of salt in a sack, of a yellowish
color. I don't know how much they had to pay, but they were always
growling that it was so high. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the Ohio Canal was finished, in
about 1332, they got their salt at Hassillon. It was called "The Lake
Salt", and I think they had to pay about three dollars a barrel, at first.
When we used to haul wheat to Hassillon, it took us one day to get ready.
We had to clean the wheat first and measure it upj grease the wagon, put
the cover on, and load up. .next day, we would go to Hassillon or close
to it, and stay all night, sleep in the wagon, and the next day, come
home, Ne:rt day was a general rest. So that took four days to go to
Hassillon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I recollect our first barn was east of the house, built of round logs,
covered with clapboard, and had a threshing floor where my father was
used to flail off the grain or tramp It off with the horses and then, take
a pewter plate on a windy day and throw it across the floor to clean it.
We had no fanning mill.
Our next barn was a hewed log barn, covered with lapped shingles, made
by Baeob Sanor and John Kelley in 1832 or I833,
Fish and game of all kinds were plenty, at first, but there were no
Indians any more, but plenty of wolves and some bear, tut I never saw any,
but mind of father and mother talking about the wolves howling so late
(in the) night, but I never heard them. I went along one morning to see
where they had killed a yearling calf for us last night.
I would go fifty or more miles to hear the birds singing, as they were
singing in that falling timber seventy years ago. It seemed like there
were thousands of the, and each one of them wanted to be the best singer.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In order to clarify some of the facts stated, an attempt is made here to </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">point out that Jonathan Bowman did live in Stark County, Ohio.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">an attempt to locate the genealogy which might have been compiled on the</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Peter Klinger, Only recently, have learned through a Klinger researcher,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">tha t there actually was a Daniel Klinger, brother of Hannah and Hary Hagdalena</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">About the Maidstone Freemen Index 1598 - 1842 -</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An index of persons granted freedom of the Borough of Maidstone, Kent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Freemen had certain advantages in the town. They had the right to vote for the town's two Members of Parliament. The 1832 Reform Act gave the vote to all men who occupied property in the town worth £10. Freemen retained their votes for life provided they lived within 7 miles of the town. In 1835 the Municipal Corporations Act reduced the size of the corporation (council) and these were to be elected by all male ratepayers. Source: "The History of Maidstone" by Peter Clark and Lyn Murfin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Persons usually gained their freedom in one of three ways: apprenticeship to a freeman, because their father was a freeman, or by purchasing their own freedom. Some of the entries come from calendars only and further information is not available. There were no freedoms given between 1742 and 1747 because of the loss of the towns charter of incorporation and borough status due to political disputes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. By apprenticeship: the index includes the surname and forename of the apprentice, the year freedom was granted, the surname, forename and occupation of their master who was himself a freeman. Usually, the name of the father of the apprentice can be obtained from the Apprenticeship Enrollment books (Md/Ra1/1-3) which cover 1692-1812. In addition the information listed in the full index is repeated a separate masters index. This is useful for identifying all the apprentices of a particular master except his own sons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. By patrimony: the index includes the surname and forename of the son, the year freedom was granted, the name and occupation of their father who was himself a freeman. If it is stated in the record that someone was apprenticed to their father, this is stated in this full index. They are not included in the masters index.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. By purchase: the index includes the surname, forename and occupation of the purchaser and the year freedom was granted. Usually this cost £15. Freedom by purchase ended in 1771.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Not available: Some persons were listed in the indexes to the freedom lists but further information was not recorded. The index gives surname, forename and the year freedom was granted. There are separate books of Apprenticeship Enrollment (Md/Ra/1-3) which would give further information on any who were apprenticed from 1692. All entries prior to 1694 are of this type.</span><br />
