My grandmother lived in

of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. If anyone has lived in the
city and have attended such parties and are acquainted with
Placides, Escobar, Aguilar, Bayani, Constantino, Bernardino,
or if you have heard of my grandmother, Manzella, please

Bean |
"William Warren Bean, was born in Dublin, Ireland, and came
to the United States in 1833. He located in Bucks county,
Pennsylvania, at that time one of the most progressive and
prosperous sections of the country, and there he followed
architecture and building, and in addition engaged extensively
in farming until 1843.
In that year he sold all his interests in Bucks county and
moved to Philadelphia, where he carried on a large grocery
business until his death in 1855. He was united in marriage with
Miss Fannie Briton, like himself born in Ireland, as has been
stated, and by this marriage became the father of seven
children, three of whom are living: Daniel, whose home is in
Fresno, California; Martha, the wife of George Bright of St.
Louis, Missouri, and Thomas A. The father was a devout member of
the Presbyterian church and took a great interest in the welfare
of the congregation to which he belonged. His political faith
was anchored firmly to the principles of the Democratic party,
and in the success of that organization he at all times
manifested the most earnest interest. He was a very active
worker for the good of the party and during his life spent a
large amount of money in its behalf, although at no time
desirous of holding any of the offices in its gift, either by
election or appointment."
The above account of William Warren Bean was taken from
History of Shelby County, MO, published circa 1911. I have not
located any records or other documents to confirm this account.
If anyone has information that might substantiate, refute or add
to this personal history, please contact me. |

I’m looking for information on William Dickey, born about
1833 in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland. He later immigrated to
U.S., reportedly as a youth. On 20 October, 1864 he married
Eliza McKinley in Philadelphia, PA. He served in the Civil War
with the 214th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment. In 1865 he joined
his brother Thomas in Mercer County, IL. Five years later, in
1870, he moved to Dixon County, Nebraska, and homesteaded near
where Eliza’s family had settled. William’s siblings were
identified in a letter by a great aunt as follows:
Mary (Dickey) Woodside
Betsy (Dickey) Montgomery
Tom Dickey
Ellen Dickey
Jane (Dickey) Stewart
It was further stated that none of his siblings left
Philadelphia except for the brother in Illinois and
unfortunately, we have lost contact with all their descendants.
Mention was made that the grandmothers were distant cousins
named Robinson, from Belfast. Any information on William and/or
his family would truly be appreciated. |

John Harold became a butcher as well, and eventually
opened up Donohue's Market in 1905 in Sharon Hill. The

Gordon Rudolphus Exley Sr. the first Director of

{John Potter} a founder of New Haven CT.. This family includes
Orlando Bronson Potter who wrote the first National Banking Act
during President Lincoln's time. Gordon Exley's grandfather
[George Gilbert Potter] served in the Civil War and wrote
various letters home during that period. Gordon Exley is
descended from five Revolutionary Soldiers, including Colonel
Aaron Rowley, Deacon Daniel Potter, Phineas Potter and others.
Gordon Rudophus Exley Sr. was followed by a son and grandson by
the same name. His son was active in the development of
Montgomery County and his grandson a Captain in the Special
Forces [Viet Nam]. His daughter Anna Marie Exley married Ernest
Arthur Hatton Sr. They had three sons, Ernest Jr., Gordon and
Paul Hatton who lives in Bucks County, PA. and owns a portion of
the farm on Meeting House Road of the late Worthington family.
All of the Hatton children were baptized in Trinity Lutheran
Church in Germantown. The Hatton lineage is not documented, or
fully known, but early Colonial records and newspaper articles
of Philadelphia [1700s] show a Merchant family by that name with
ships that sailed to various countries and with plantations in
the South and in the Islands. I am a grandson of Gordon
Rudolphus Exley Sr. and now a resident of Florida.

Jackson |
We are looking for any
information on John Jackson who sailed from Liverpool
arriving Ellis Island on January 7th 1905 on the Lucania.
John was a Lacemaker from Nottingham, England bound for
Philadelphia. He was travelling alone and it is not
known if he was joining a third party or for
employment. John came from a large family of Lacemakers.
Mostly, his siblings were born in Calais, France where
the family moved to set up the Lace trade. John was
born on their return to Nottingham. It is believed he
was born in 1877. Any information on his descendents
and his last resting place would be most welcome by
other Jackson researchers.
