Hi everyone,
Just an update...I have a list of coal mines that I'm typing up right now.
Its a really long list too so please be patient.
I'm transcribing the info from photos.
Information will include the year,the state mine inspector responsible for
inspections of that mine,Pennsylvania county location and mine owners names.
This list will be for bituminous(soft)coal mines only.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for getting back to me on this.
I may be able to help you sort them out.
I have digital pictures of ledger books that list the bituminous coal mines by year,by individual district,the state inspecter,there county locations(and some by town and township) and the coal mine owners.
These ledgers only list the mining inspectors and their individual mines that they were responsible to inspect.
There is no data in these bookers pertaining to the coal miners themselves.The ledger lists basically tracked the inspections,minimin info on problems and corrections the state inspectors observed and sometimes tonnage reports.
They cover roughly the late 1890s thru about 1915 in the western Pennsylvania mining districts.
My gggrandfather was a state mine inspector in the soft coal region of the state for almost 30 years from about 1886 thru 1915,that is why I contacted you.
So,if you are interested,I will gladly help you sort thru the list.Just let me know.

they are for PA only.
And given some "spare" time will have the whole list up in the USGenWeb archives soon!!
Just got the list sent to be....
About 3500 or so fatalities for SELECTED years.... and a total of nearly 90,000 names.
There are several listed twice for the same incident with same name but slightly different data.
BAD thing about the list is the data is by MINE name..... which does not show town or county in most cases.
Can guess whether they are in the eastern or western part of the state sometimes but not much more than that.
Some of the PAGenWeb county sites have some data....
I hope this and other mail list groups can fill in the blanks a bit on location......

I did a Google search using the following terms:

She is why I joined this list.
I encourage a search on Google -- it may clarify the Bristol question.

I think it is time to remind listers of the rules of civility in answering questions. Any question is valid. There are no "stupid" or "ridiculous" questions. All of us simply seek information. The crux of the matter as to whether was in Bristol in Burks Co. PA or Virginia is that a subscriber asked a legitimate question. Depending on how far back you go, there was a valid aspect to the question. Many early colonies claimed huge portions of the east coast.
Pennsylvania claimed large portions of Delaware ( the Lower Counties) in the early years of our country.
I encourage respectful dialogue for all seekers of truth.

Dawn,
It occurs to me that what you need to know is that the southern boundary
line of the Province of Pennsylvania, and thereby the northern boundary line
of Delaware, Maryland and a part of Virginia, which is now West Virginia,
was settled when the Mason Dixon Line was established (1763-69).
The Pennsylvania Legislature kicked the Penn family out of power on or about
July 5, 1776. In doing so the Pennsylvania Legislature declared the
COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania to be the Proprietary.

Yes, I know that the east was not involved with Virginia. However, that was
not the question that was posed. The question was if ANY part of PA could
have been in VA. Ergo, my reply.

Germantown, Philadelphia, was never known as Bristol.
Bristol, Philadelphia, PA, was east of Germantown and
comprised the neighborhoods of Oak Lane, Fern Rock,
Feltonville, Logan, etc.
The SE boundary of Bristol, Philadelphia, was Stenton
Ave., which was the border between Germantown and
Bristol.
Germantown was founded and named in 1683 by Franz
Daniel Pastorius.
I refer you to the Germantown Historical Society for
the history of Germantown.

The Pilgrims came to America a long time before
William Penn founded PA and organized the original PA
counties. When the Pilgrims came over, most of North
America was called Virginia. The different colonies
had not yet been defined.
By the time that Penn came over, the colinies were
acquiring their modern boundaries.
Penn's grant from King Charles states the northern and
southern borders of Pennsylvania.
Before the Revolution, Virginia claimed what is now
part of southwestern PA and Conn. claimed part of
Northern PA.
You will not find any map where Bristol, Bucks Co., PA
is listed as being in Virginia.
There is no excuse for not knowing the history and
geography of the land where your ancestors came from.
When I was young, the founding and settling of
Pennsylvania, in 1682, was part of every history and
geography course. Now no one studies geography in
American schools.
There are plenty of book stores and libraries in the
country where reference can be obtained.
I assume that everyone knows that Pnnsylvania was
founded by William Penn in 1682 by a grant from King
Charles II, of England. I also assume that everyone
knows that the first counties in PA, organized in
1682, were Bucks, Philadelphia, and Chester.
I probably shouldn't assume this!

NO! Bucks Co., PA , was one of the first counties of

There is a Bristol in Bucks Co., PA and there was a
