 INTRODUCTION
TO TOWNS, BOROUGHS
and VILLAGES IN WASHINGTON COUNTYGenealogy (often misspelled geneology) and family history
research in Little Washington,
Washington County, Pennsylvania from 1700 to present.
I decided to include a section about towns in Washington County because, other
than Crumrine, there is little to be found on the internet about the localities
in the county. There is no place on the WWW with descriptions of all - or
most - of the towns.
A little history will be included, but because the focus of this website is
"life in..", my focus with the Town-Talk write ups is to give readers
an overview of what the towns are like, past and present. In the
past, so many of these places were hustling and very populated, but with losses
of industry many of the towns have fairly shrunk in population and decreased
activity. However, for anyone with an interest in Washington County, these
all are still "our towns."
These pages will be expanded during the next months and more towns will have
write-ups.
If you would like to do a write-up for a town, email me!
If you want to submit a picture of a town, email me!

Our John Lane Sr. (ca.1780-1844) was mistakenly (we think)
included in a DAR Application,
linking him to the wrong Revolutionary Soldier (although his father was
supposedly in the Revolutionary War). Read the files disproving this DAR
Application and see the actual documents. (DAR Application of Emma
McKinley Nease for Record of John Lane, Bedford Co., PA) I welcome comments
and any researcher's proof either way concerning this issue.

The background was chosen specifically to
emphasize the matriarchal role of women in "the life" of
children and families, and the resilience of all the women of
southwestern Pennsylvania. |
