Subject: [PAGenWeb] Blackwell's in Schuylkill and Berks County
Seeking lineage information (ancestry, place and date of
birth/death,
descendants) for John W. and Emma E. Blackwell. Both are buried in the
cemetery belonging to the Zion Lutheran Church in Frackville, PA.burial
plaque shows no dates, and repeated requests for information to the Zion
Lutheran Church have yielded no response. A member of my direct line,
James
Blackwell is also buried at this cemetery (along w/his wife, daughter and
some descendants), and I therefore speculate that John W. and Emma E. are
relations.but I can't figure out how. I have traced my GGGGgrandfather
(David) to Robeson Township, Berks County, PA.David was the father to a
John
Blackwell who was the father to James of Frackville, and father to Thomas
who was my GGgrandfather and who died in Upper Fairfield Township,
Lycoming
County PA (husband of Vashti Casselberry of Upper Fairfield, Lycoming
County).
In passing, I also think that my line is related to Elizabeth [Blackwell]
Moore-b. 1765 and died 1848 in Robeson Township, Berks County, PA.
It also seems likely that my line is related to George and Francis
Blackwell, both of whom signed the PA Oath of Allegiance in 1777 in Berks
County, PA. George also served in the 3rd Battalion of Militia of Berks
County, PA (June 1780-July 1781). I checked the "DAR" database (at
Ancestry.Com) and found no match for George Blackwell.
Information on any of these people will be greatly appreciated.
