During the summer of 2004 I will be traveling for genealogy research in the following areas. I could use plenty of advice. Please email georgeann@msn.com with suggestions.

My goals include:

  • Visiting areas where my ancestors lived.
  • Meeting some of my distant cousins who live in these areas
  • Visit friends and family enroute
  • Meeting others researching the same families and communities
  • Meet alumni of my online genealogy classes
  • Meeting people who contribute to www.chartiers.com and making decisions regarding future projects: Gina, Helen, etc
  • Visiting local historical festivals, historical societies, libraries, archives and museums
  • Enjoying outdoor activities in these areas. Perhaps white water rafting with a group in West Virginia or joining others for a tour of covered bridges. But most of all, having a really FUN summer!

Specific places & activities. All dates tentative at this time

May 11 Tour of Thomas Hughes Home in Jefferson, PA - part of Cornerstone Genealogy Society's monthly meeting - Odenbaugh group will want to go here because we are related by marriage to this Hughes family
www.greenepa.net/~museum/HughesHouse.html The historic Thomas Hughes House was built by Thomas Hughes in 1814 of hand hewn stone cut by Thomas' slaves from a nearby quarry. This is one of only a few houses built by slaves north of the Mason Dixon line. While one part of the two-story home may have been built as early as 1792, the main part was constructed in 1814. The original one-story section was most likely a kitchen that was attached to a cabin. On the southeast gable of the present structure, an oval stone contains the inscription 1814, T.H. E.H. for Thomas and Elizabeth Hughes.

The Historical Society has overseen this site.  A lease agreement between the PHMC and the Greene County Library System, for the use of the site as a satellite library for the area, is also underway.

Memorial near Jefferson, PA.  Jim knows the general area where she was buried as Thomas Kent was buried and moved.  We should be able to find a marker in the Greene Co. Memorial. Greene County, PA

August - 7 2 others coming to Washington County for a reunion    
  Hopewell Twp, Washington County
  • from www.irishgenealogy.com/craig.htm: William Craig, (Georgeann's 5th g-grandfather) who was an early resident in Hopewell township (Washington County, PA) had four sons, - David, John, William, and Walter.

    David married the widow of Thomas URIE, and settled in West Middletown (PA). To David Craig and his wife were born a large family of children, all girls. When Mr. Craig died, in 1857, he left a large landed estate. John Craig, second son of William Craig, went to Ohio. William, Jr., settled on the homestead and died there, leaving a large property, which was divided among his children. Walter Craig, youngest of William Craig's' four sons, married a sister of Col. Joseph Scott. In 1818 and 1819 he was a member of the House of Representatives from this district. After his marriage and his removal to Cross Creek village he was elected to the State Senate.

     

  • CRAIG & McCONNELL farms were adjacent. I am still uncertain if Susannah McCONNELL is my ancestor as many believe.
