I am researching NORTHRUP/ NORTHROP, CRAWFORD, WALLEN, PARKS, SNYDER, YOUNG and various allied families, all early settlers in Bradford County.

Nehemiah "Myer" NORTHRUP (b. 1761 CT, d. 20 Sep 1842 Bradford, PA) son of Nathan NORTHRUP and Sarah CRAWFORD, married Sarah "Sally" PARKS (b. 1779 CT d. 19 May 1842 Bradford, PA), daughter of John PARKS and Sarah WALLEN. Nehemiah was a farmer and lived in Athens Twp.

Possible children, all born Bradford, PA:
1 - [son ?] NORTHRUP (b. 1794-1802, d. ??)
2 - George NORTHRUP (b. 1803, d. 5 Feb 1873 Ogle Co., IL), married Nancy
Mianda SNYDER (b. 22 Aug 1816, d. after 1880 probably in IL), daughter of
William SNYDER and Hannah PARKS of Sheshequin Twp
3 - Charles NORTHRUP (b. 1806, d. 24 Apr 1838 Bradford, PA)
4 - James L. NORTHRUP (b. ??, d. 24 Apr 1838 Bradford, PA)
5 - Cynthia NORTHRUP (b. 1804-1810, d. ??), married John G. EASTERBROOKS,
son of Barnard EASTERBROOKS and Cynthia GREEN of Orwell Twp
6 - [daughter ?] NORTHRUP (b. 1804-1810, d. ??)
7 - Eliza NORTHRUP (b. 16 Jun 1810, d. 2 Apr 1876 Bradford, PA), married
Richard JOHNSON (b. 20 Aug 1810, d. 19 Aug 1870 Bradford, PA)
8 - William NORTHRUP (b. 1816, d. 30 Jul 1844 Bradford, PA)

I am fairly confident that George, Charles, William and Cynthia belong in this family group; not positive about the other four.

Nehemiah NORTHRUP had brothers John, Abijah and James who seem to have been fairly well documented by various researchers, but I haven't found anyone who is researching Nehemiah. I'd like to hear from anybody who has any information about or interest in this family.

Hi,
I hope I am not too late. If I am please bear with me. I am looking for information on my Cowl ancestors. I am specifically looking for the family of James Cowl. His son, Martin Howard, was born in Duchess County, New York. I think in Pawling. Martin came to Bradford County where he married Sara Jane Diltz. (Daughter of Samuel and Annis.) Martin died fairly young and left Sara Jane with several young children. His son, James Orlando, was born in Leroy Twp. He had a butcher shop in Towanda. Any one related to them, please contact me. I'd really love to learn more about them.

I am also looking for info on the Diltz/Dilts/Dills clan and am also trying to look for the parents and/or siblings of Annis Palmer.

Looking for family members of this RUMSEY famly:

Edwin RUMSEY b.22 Mar 1850 Mainesburg, Tioga Co.,PA, LDS IGI records list his parents as Levi M. RUMSEY and Sophia WILLIAMS. Edwin married Esther Cordelia DRINKWALTER b.6 Jan 1846/47 Pike Twp., Bradford Co.,PA, dau of William Warren Drinkwalter and Almira Pratt.

Edwin and Esther had at least two children, Winifred and Minnie, both died of diptheria in 1881and are buried in the Mainesburg Cemetery, Sullivan Twp, Tioga, PA. I do not know if they had more children nor do I know when Edwin and Esther died and where they are buried.

A news extract in the online Tri-County pages, dated June 1888 says Edwin moved his family to Wellsboro. That is the last trace of Edwin and Esther that I have found. Another news extract dated April 13, 1881 states his mother Sophia married Peter McNeil of Corning. I would like to find when and where Edwin and Esther died.

Thanks,
