Subject: Kerr, Moore, Miller
Submitter: Dick Carr
Date: Sunday April 29th, 2001 at 18:03:03
    My name is I am Richard L. Carr, and I am seeking the father of my GGGGrandfather William Kerr [William, Eli, John F., John E., Jay R., Richard L. (For reasons we do not know, Eli changed the spelling to Carr)]. We believe that William's father was a John Kerr and his mother was Elizabeth (unknown). We further believe that they owned property and lived Hanover Township in the late 1700's.
    My GGGGrandfather William Kerr married a Margaret Jane Miller and they owned property in Hanover Township, during the late 1700's. William and Margaret Jane left in approximately 1811 - 1813 and moved to Ohio.
    We are a bit confused as to exactly where our ancestors lived in Pennsylvania as we understand that at one time or another certain parcels of land in this area were in Smith Township, Washington County, Moon Township in Allegheny County, Hanover Township in Washington County and Hanover Township in Beaver County.
    We do have the following information regarding the location:
    Washington Co., Pa. Land Record: Jan. 25, 1794, John Kerr (signed Carr) bought 40 acres from Samuel Moore and wife Elizabeth for 30 lbs. This land is on the north side of a land patent Samuel Moore got from the State of Pa. in 1790. John's land lies on waters of Kings Creek by land of Seve Stepens and Andrew Johnston.
    Washington Co. Pa. Land record, Book 1-5, Page 9.756: Samuel Moore deceased of Hanover Twp., Washington Co., Pa., did during his lifetime obtain a patent from the land office of the Pa. State on Sept. 15, 1790, listed in the master of Rolls office in Patent Book No. 16, Page 401, and the said Samuel Moore and Elizabeth Moore his wife sold to John Kerr on Jan. 5, 1794, 40 acres & 142 perches situate & lying on the north side of the tract of land for which the above mentioned patent was granted, it being part of the same, recorded in Book I, Page 889 and 890 on March 28, 1794, in Washington Co.
    Now, John Kerr and Elizabeth Kerr his wife sold to Joseph Menezenger for $207 the above mentioned 40 acres & 42 perches, but by actual measurement being 41 acres & 81 perches lying & being situate on the waters of Kings Creek viz: Beginning at a post, thence by land of the said Joseph Menezinger north 56 degrees west 106 perches to a post, west 22 perches to a noe, thence by land of the heirs of Samuel Moore dec'd, south 45 degrees west 36 perches to a post, south 56
    degrees east 164 perches to a post, thence by land of Thomas Cooker north two degrees west 58 perches to the beginning. Signed John Carr and Elizabeth Carr (her mark) on March 18, 1807, in Beaver County, Pa. Witnesses: John H. Redick, associate judge of Beaver County Court, and David Redick. Recorded July 30, 1807, by Issac Kerr, Washington Co., Pa.
    Land listed as still in Hanover Twp., Washington Co. (Note: John and Elizabeth were in Beaver Co., PA).
    May 5, 1806, William Kerr of Washington Co., PA, bought 50 acres on the southwest end of a tract of land called China Fituate, in Hanover Twp. [is there a map of the location: China Fituate], for $275 from John Moore, and his wife Jane, of Washington Co., PA. Witnesses: James Kerr and David Potts. (John Moore had bought 175 acres of a tract of land called China Fituate, adjacent to land of Samuel Moore, dec., Josiah Stepens and William Foreseth, on Dec. 11, 1797, from the State of PA).
    Note that this information does not tell us in which county this Hanover Township is located, Washington or Beaver County.
    We also note the following information:
    A James Kerr, singleman (perhaps Williams Brother?) shows up in the 1805-06 tax list in Hanover Twp. He probably had turned 21. Also a John Kerr, Jr., (another of Williams brothers?) shows up in the 1805-06 tax list with 1 horse, 1 cow and no land. He's also there in 1806-07 and 1807-08. No other Kerr's listed in Hanover Twp. from 1786 to 1809.
    We also found the following:
    Early Settlers
    Among the early settlers in Hanover Township, but of whom but little is known, are the following: James Simpson received a warrant for a tract of land lying on the waters of King Creek, dated Feb. 18, 1785, surveyed as "Middle Brook" Jan.18, 1786, adjoining Samuel Moore, Hugh Miller, and John Lee Webster. Samuel Clark owned four hundred acres where his descendants still reside. John Comley owned one hundred acres, and had a horse-mill where Thomas Hunter now lives on Harmon's Creek. He left several children. The mill was in use as late as 1820, and the site is now occupied by a steam grist-mill. Hugh Miller, in 1786, owned a large tract of land adjoining the lands of James Simpson. Later his son John owned two hundred acres. John Kirby had a warrant for a tract of land dated Jan. 15, 1785, surveyed December 14th the same year as "Slave Gallant," and contained four hundred and thirty-one acres.
    Settlements.—In the assessment-roll of Hanover township for 1800 are found the following names of residents of the township, with their occupations at that time, viz., John Buchanan and John Dornan, merchants; John Gillillan and Robert Leeper, tanners; Samuel Glasgow, justice of the peace; John Irwin, James Nelson, John H.Redick, Millers; Jonathan Potts, Daniel McConnell, and William Kerr, blacksmiths. William Carruthers was licensed to keep tavern in the township in 1796, and he kept until 1812. In 1813 the same house was kept by Jane Carruthers. One of the oldest grist-mills was the White Mill, mentioned in 1789 as a point in the boundary line of Beaver, Washington, and Allegheny Counties. This is now Murdochville, in the northeast corner of the township.
    As one will note, the information seems to run together and it is difficult to conclude where in the township William Kerr the Blacksmith resided. We do have independent information to the effect that William Kerr was a Blacksmith.

    The Commemorative Biography Records of Washington Co. PA 1893 Parts I & II, pg. 229, provides some questionable information of Robert and family. It list Samuel STEWART and Elizabeth McCARTY as parents; and his six siblings who lived to maturity were Charles, George, John, Robert, Sarah and Mary. But a family history by William Patterson WILSON (decendant of Margaret Ann STEWART) a newspaperman and historian of Independence, PA , states Robert's father name was John - not Samuel.

    My greatgrandfather was James Dinning and greatgrandmother Fanny Bean. Both were born in England. James came over to Monongahela City, Washington County PA as a coal miner. Fanny lived in Roscoe, Washington County PA. They married in Roscoe in 1891 and had their first child in Roscoe in 1892, my grandmother.
    I do not have any idea when they left England but they came back around 1894 I think.

    I am trying to locate the family of Joseph (Giuseppe?) PORRECA in Washington County, PA. If someone has access to a 1920 Soundex/Census I’d really appreciate a lookup.
    Joseph and his wife Maria (Josephine?) DeRugiero PORRECA immigrated to the US from Italy, we believe around 1900 give or take a couple of years, but this is an unproved family story. They are said to have been married already, although they had no children at that time. They reportedly came in through Ellis Island. They had five children after arriving in the US
    -Tony (Anthony, Antonio, Antony?) PORRECA (no other data known; said to have died bef 1950, prob. in PA)
    Philomena PORRECA Shanter (born in Newark, Essex County, NJ; died in Ohio in 1955)
    Lawrence PORRECA (b. 1908 in Newark, Essex County, NJ; died Fredericktown, Washington County, PA)
    Rosina PORRECA Garza (b. 1910 in Newark, Essex County, NJ; died in Houston, TX) - - This is my wife’s mother.
    Lena PORRECA Lamatrice (b. 1912 in Newark; died in Florida)
    Their mother died ca. 1914 (when my wife’s mother was 4) around the age of 32 so she would have been born abt 1882. Joseph moved to Pennsylvania where he remarried, and worked in the coal mines in Washington County, PA. He died ca. 1928 in Fredericktown, Washington County, PA.
    I have a fairly detailed descendant list for the children of this couple if anyone is interested.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Hello,
    I am searching for any info of paternal ancestors. Ggrandmother was Margaret MOORE -widowed with two daughters: Rose (1884), and Katherine Beatrice (1888). KB was my grandmother, and married John Lawrence GARRITY in 1902. They had 3 daughters: Margaret, Catherine, and Helen; and two sons-John Fairfield G, and Thomas Edward G.. She married second: George Wilkinson BEATTY (unknown when) and they had George Harrison BEATTY (1913; my father, who later went by GARRITY), and Milford Richard BEATTY (1916). For some unknown reason the children were in St. Paul's Orphanage from 1916 to 1921. Milford was placed with and raised by either SULLIVAN or BEATTY family somewhere in WA. PA. All of these people are now deceased, and I have nothing to go on, so am hoping to find a connection "somewhere out there". Did not find on 1920 census.
    Would appreciate any lead however small.

    I am looking for a connection between the Richie, Smith and Hill names.All I know is My Fiances grandmother had said her mother was Virginia Wilhelmina (Minnie) Smith and that her Grandmother's last name was Richie (or some variation) and that they called her Grandma Bell. I have not been able to find a thing on this family except a 1920 census record listing Virginia and her husband Clarence Hill living in Jefferson, PA with there first 4 children. In total they had 11 children. Virginia was born about 1896. Clarence was born in abt. 1886. There children were Alta Christina (1913), Everett(1916), Jack(1918), Betty Sue(1919), Martha Belle, Delores, Patricia, Twyla, William Robert, Clarence Jr. and Nell Rose(1/26/1926). From what I have gathered Nell was the youngest and Virginia died either during childbirth or shortly after. I was also told that Clarence Sr. died in either a mining accident or train wreck(either in a car or while walking home). Clarence Jr. had a son also named Clarence. Nell and Sue moved to Ohio Sue married a Bill Keifer in Youngstown, OH and Nell married Carl Koby. Martha was in the Armed services (I have been unable to locate which branch) while in the military she met and married Marlin Minnik. Twyla married a Chambers. Though I have been unable to locate them I believe William, Jack and Everett may still be alive as they were when Nell passed away in 1997. Clarence's father is believed to be Jacob Hill the son of an Isaac or Isiah Hill who served in the Civil War. But I can't prove any of this. This family may be from Fayette, Greene, Washington, or Westmoreland. As I have heard all three places mentioned. We have also heard a place called Little Washington mentioned. But I can't seem to find it. It is supposed to be near Waynesburg or Jefferson, PA.
    Any help with this line would be greatly appreciated.

    Zebulon Lee and his father's family came to the "country of the Monongahela River" during the time of the Revolutionary War, possibly around 1781. Zebulon Lee served as a private in Capt. William Crawford's company, 3rd Battalion, Washington Co., PA militia and was discharched May 18, 1782.
    After the war, Zebulon Lee removed to Luzerne Co., PA and married there in 1792 to Margaret Courtwright. We think that he could have had some Lee relatives who remained in Washington Co., PA. Maybe his father remained here. We do not know the name of the father. We think he could have had a brother by the name of Samuel LEE.
    According to Pension files, Zebulon Lee was born in Lebanon, CT in 1758, and came "as a young child with his father" to Northampton Co., PA. They were there until the family removed to the Monongahela River in about 1781.
    In 1797, Samuel Lee, who could have been a brother, appears to have followed Zane's Trace into Fairfield Co., Ohio. Zebulon Lee purchased a portion of Samuel Lee's Fairfield Co., Ohio lands for $1.00 and removed to Fairfield Co., Ohio in 1804. Samuel Lee went to the area of Bond County, IL about the time of the war of 1812, where he died in 1833. Zebulon Lee sold his Fairfield Co., Ohio lands in the 1830's and removed to Hancock Co., Ohio, where he died in 1848.
    We think that the Lee family may have had Washington Co., PA connections. Are looking for any clues that would name a father for Zebulon or Samuel or prove that they are indeed brothers.

    In Wasington County my ancestor John Forker is listed in the 1810 tax roll as a taylor.
    If someone has a skill like a tailor where is there a list of apprentice in this area or
    in PA or should it go to IRELAND about 1808 where would I find a list there? His

Subject: Meek, Coventry
Submitter: Phillip LaGro
Date: Sunday October 15th, 2000 at 12:08:00
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I am researching my ancestors with the Meek and Coventry surnames, with Meek being of particular interest. This has turned out to be a bit of a good news/bad news project. The good news is that we have found many Meek references with given names that appear likely to be our people. The bad news is that the common given names were so "recycled" that you can't tell which grandfather, father, uncle and brother is the correct one. And with no clear written documentation it appears impossible to be sure you have the right person.
    Having said all that, my query is the following. At this time, we are specifically trying to find records and information on John Meek and his wife Mary (Coventry) Meek, who are our great great grandparents.
    We believe they may have been born and lived in Washington County, PA. This is based primarily on review of census data for IL, IN, OH, PA and VA. There are very few references in these states to the Coventry surname, so it made doing a state-by-state crossmatch with the Meek surname relatively easy. The result was that the Meek and Coventry surnames seem to coexist solely in southwestern PA, and most significantly in Washington County.
    We believe that John Meek and Mary Coventry may have been the children of people living in Washington County in the timeframe of 1800-1820. John and Mary were both born between 1800-1803 according to information we have.
    The 1810 PA census data shows only one Coventry statewide, and that is John Coventry in Washington Co. There are no Washington Co. Meeks in that data, but there are Meeks in neighboring counties of Greene, Allegheny and Armstrong.
    The 1820 PA census data shows four Conventry entries, with two being in Washington Co. (i.e. John and William). In that census there are also five Meek references in Washington Co. for George, Isaac, Joseph, Samuel and William. (The 1820 census data again shows the Meek name in neighboring Allegheny and Greene counties.)
    John and Mary (Coventry) Meek had their first son William born in 1826. At that time we assume they had only recently been married and were in their early twenties. We have found no marriage or birth records yet for any of these people. The next four children they had were born between 1832-1839; the gravestone of their son John born in 1839 (buried in Vandalia, Fayette Co., IL)is inscribed with the words "Born in Ohio." Their last child born, Andrew Meek, was born in 1840 after they arrived in Fayette Co. IL.
    We hope that someone may be able to help us make a clear link to these ancestors, and perhaps beyond. We do not know if gg grandfather John Meek had any siblings, but we do know that Mary Coventry had at least one sibling, a brother named William. We also have very old photographs of Mary's brother William and their father Coventry (no name).
    Thank you again.

    Funeral services were held Monday afternoon in the Couch home, Oakmont, conducted by the Rev. W. C. Mellin, pastor of the Oakmont Presbyterian Church. Burial was in the Robinson's Run cemetery, McDonald.
    From the Robinson Run centennial booklet in the State Library, I learned the wittnesses for the wedding were Henrietta Smith and William B Carson. Was Wm B Carson a brother?
    I remember in the 1940's and earlier (?) , there was a Carson reunion every summer. I think they were held in Washington County, but I remember going to one at North Park. My memory is that there were over a hundred people, maybe 200 attending.
    Can anyone help me with these Carsons?

    parents unnamed; but there is more: "Consent of her mother M.A. Stan former

    I am searching for information regarding relatives of my great great grandparents, Gilles Joseph LEONARD and his wife Henrietta Antoinette DUPONT. G. Joseph LEONARD emigrated from Liege, BELGIUM in 1886, Henrietta emigrated with their four children in 1887. G. Joseph was a shoemaker.
    They settled in Charleroi, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Six of their ten children were born in Charleroi; Mary b. 1888, Louise b. 1891,
    Jules b. 1892, Elmer b. 1894, Josephine b. 1896 and Henrietta b. 1898.
    I believe they may have settled in Charleroi because they had relatives from Belgium already living there. While searching at the Prothontary Office at the Washington County Court House I found naturalization records for the following Duponts and Leonards: Francois DUPONT n. 1896 from Belgium, Aimer Alexander DUPONT from Belgium, Jean Joseph LEONARD n. 1896 from Belgium.
    The family moved from Charleroi to Monessen, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania in 1899,> Columbus, Franklin County, OHIO > Wellsburg, Brooke County, WEST VIRGINIA.
    I have more information and a picture of the Leonard family on my web site, http://home.hawaii.rr.com/gentryfamily
    I would appreciate any information on LEONARDS and DUPONTS of Beligian descent living in Washington County at the turn of the century.

    John GOODWINE Martha HEADY birth and marriage records 1735-1770.
    Researching John GOODWINE who died about 1831 Nelson Co, KY. Believe HEADY and GOODWINE families moving
    Westward thru PA in mid 1700's to arrive in Nelson Co, KY about 1790.
    John Goodwine, Sr married Martha HEADY prior 1770, likely in Washington Co, PA or nearby PA Counties.
    Son John GOODWIN, Jr believed born Washington Co, PA 1776. Heady GOODWINE believed an earlier son.
    Any comments or suggestions on GOODWINE and HEADY birth and marriage records appreciated.

    John Forker is listed in Washingtoin County about 1808 single freeman TAYLOR.
    If someone is a tailor in 1808 did they not need to ne an apprentice and if so are
    there any lists to check his name to find out about his history. He seems to be in
    Venango County by 1819 taxed as a tailor and married to Sybella Jones , daughter
    of a Levi Jones
    It seems that John is related to Patrick and Samuel Farquhar and Forker. Patrick is
    is Fallowfield Twp 1800-1819 over the age of 45
    to be his father
    and Samuel a few years older is dead by 1817 and married to Amanda.
    LIST OF APPRENTICES?????????

    My GGgrandmothers name was Rosanna Barnes b.1830 in Washington County, PA. I believe she has two brothers or cousins names were Francis Barnes b.1827 and Jacob Barnes b. 1829 believe these two were born in VA. I really believe they were brothers and sisters and that fathers name was Abraham or Abram Barnes. Found Rosanna Barnes in IGI records showing that her father was Abraham Barnes and mothers name was Susanna ?, showing Washington Co. PA as place of birth.
    All the above children married in the Stiles family marrying their spouses brother and sisters.
    All of the above Barnes moved to Guernsey Co. Ohio. I do know that the boundry lines changed and may not have moved the State lines may have moved.
    I have information on the lines forward and much, much information on the Stiles line. Would love to share.
    Thank you.
