Grandmother Matilda's Mount Morris. Leslie Tillett reminds, "The Pennsylvania Dutch (not Dutch at all, but German, the misnomer arising from the spelling and the anglicized pronunciation of 'Deutsch') are famous for their brightly colored and naively charming designs they applied to their objects of daily use- from their drinking glasses to their barns.". Investigating Wikitree which may prove to be a useful tool for us treesearchers! We also find a maybe clue left by family in the list of relations to J...

Jacob's Pale Blue Limestones: from "La Florida--1863" by Patrick D. Smith
http://palebluelimestones.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
Jacob's Pale Blue Limestones. From "La Florida- 1863" by Patrick D. Smith. Zech became more and more excited as they penetrated the thick woods and went past the spot where Tobias shot the hog. They soon entered bottom land, and here there were thick canebrakes and huckleberry bushes and rotted logs and clumps of palmetto and Spanish bayonet. Zech whispered, 'What are they Papa? I wouldn't kill them,' Zech said, his eyes still wide. 'They're too purty to kill. I'd rather shoot a ugly ole crow and...As th...

http://grandmothermatildaskin.blogspot.com/2013/06/we-were-muddling-through-this-part-of.html
Grandmother Matilda's Mount Morris. We were muddling through this part of the family tree. First we needed to make sense of this information that Captain John Fox married his cousin Catharine. The information came from the Cornerstone Genealogical Society and it was some hefty clues. Henry Fox (born about 1832) married Clarissa (nee Long). Henry Fox's parents were.cousins. So Catharine's parents were Peter Fox and Mary Thomas. And Capt. John's parents were Joseph Fox and Jane "Jennie" Wilson. James FOX b...

Grandmother Matilda's Mount Morris: Welcome!
http://grandmothermatildaskin.blogspot.com/p/welcome.html
Grandmother Matilda's Mount Morris. Just north of "Mericle Run" . And over an imaginary line in the sand- the famous Mason-Dixon Line- is where our people would have conducted their lives and business in the 1700s and 1800's. On an elevation of land along Dunkard Creek and Wades Run is Mt. Morris. Mt Morris was a "major town" just north of Morgantown, West Virginia. It is just east of Blacksville (also West Virginia). A famous Turkey Foot Rock with petroglyphs? French supplies hidden in caves? Some of th...

Grandmother Matilda's Mount Morris. Soon the 1876 map of Whiteley Township right on the border with Perry Township there we have Grandma Pearl's childhood iconic Willow tree. By 1876 it is on the property of Dennis Fox, a child of Henry and Susannah (Dulaney) Fox. All of this we know from using Bates' History to compare the facts to Census records. And then 27/27 gives us John Fox, only twenty, and his wife Dorotha (19). With them are Jackson Rose and Colbern Whitlatch (ages 13, 9). This is not s...With ...

Grandmother Matilda's Mount Morris. There is a "Pedigree Reference File" (MM9.2.1/SBR5-4FM) at FamilySearch. Contributed in May of 2011 which gives us James Fox (25 FEB 1836-31 MAR 1928) born and died in Greene County, PN. This file shows his parents as Joseph and Jane (Wilson) Fox. It is brother Peter, we believe, to be the listed grandparent of Dennis Fox. Those grandparents which removed from New Jersey to Pennsylvania (not all that far in family history). Those grandparents would have been th...But w...
