Abstracts of Adams County, Pennsylvania Wills (1745-1800) Abstracts of Adams County, Pennsylvania Wills (1745-1800) By: Randy J. Miller Preface This project was compiled from the York County Will Books and the York County Estate File at the Adams County Historical Society. The ACHS file is a partial collection of original wills from York County before 1800 and Lancaster County before 1749, pertaining to present day Adams County residents. York County was created from Lancaster County in 1749 and Adams County from York County in 1800. This project includes all present day Adams County townships and also Heidelberg township of present day York County. At the time of creation of Adams County from York County, part of Heidelberg township was left in present day Adams County. Therefore I have included all pre-1800 Heidelberg estates in this work. A small part of Monaghan, Warrington and Manheim townships was also left in present day Adams County but a complete listing of pre-1800 estates are not included. Due to Maryland claiming a large portion of York (Adams) County, some early estates may turn up in the Maryland archives. We wish to thank the following people for their assistance and hard work to compile this index: Larry C. Bolin, Dr. Charles H. Glatfelter, Thomas H. McQuaid, and Rev. Frederick S. Weiser. Introduction A person who dies with a Will (Testate), is leaving a valuable genealogical resource. It will give proof of residence and a general idea when the person died if no death date is known. Used in conjunction with Church Records, missing children or another marriage may become evident. It’s an excellent source for discovering maiden names (a “+” symbol is used to indicate ; intermarried) or learning the names of grandchildren (a “+” symbol followed by a parenthesis indicates ; and). The witnesses are generally neighbors and in the case were no place of residence is given and the individual is not showing up on Tax Lists, the Witnesses have another clue as to where they may have lived. The Executors are the majority of the same family members or close friends. Signatures are often an overlooked source for research. Sometimes comparing signatures from different documents is the only way possible to connect someone. The Testator’s signature can also be compared with the signatures from passenger lists to verify when an ancestor emigrated to America. Of course you’ll need a copy of the original will to carry out this procedure. One should pay close attention to other documents located in a person’s Estate File, such as the Inventory, Account and Vendue List if one exists. The Inventory and Account can give clues to other family members with careful observation and the Vendue List will give you an idea who purchased what at the public sale. In a very few cases the Receipts may survive and you’ll be able to learn whom and what was paid from the Estate and again will pick up those valuable Signatures. If a person died without a Will (Intestate), a Bond will be found. The Bond will usually include 2 or 3 bondsman and 1 or 2 of these people will be the Administrators. You’ll also get a low estimation of the value of the Estate. These bondsman will usually be family members or friends and neighbors and their signatures are of interest. Most of the time it will give proof of residence and a general idea when the person died. In the event someone dies without a Will, the intestate laws of Pennsylvania provide ways for settling of the Estate (Orphans Court). The court handled the Estate as well as appointment of guardians for orphans. The papers of Orphans Court usually list information about surviving heirs and real estate and sometimes the information learned in more than mentioned in a Will. A search for and a careful examination of these papers is recommended. This project must be emphasized as a secondary source and the user should whenever possible refer to the primary source. A lot of times more than one source is needed as proof during genealogical research and a recommendation to reference your information is encouraged. (1) = Reference Number for Contents and Index (2) = Name of Testator (3) = Place of Residence (4) = Book and Page Number from the York County Will Books or ACHS File (5) = Date Will was Written (6) = Date Will was Probated NOTE: The Gregorian calendar did not go into effect until September 2, 1752 when 11 days was added to the Julian calendar. The old Julian calendar’s new year was on March 25th and the new Gregorian calendar’s new year became January 1st. The government offices until that time operated as such, thus for example a Will probated on February 15, 1749 was, according to our present calendar, actually probated on February 15, 1750.

The first floor leaders were formally designated in 1920 (Democrats) and 1925 (Republicans). The Senate Republican and Democratic floor leaders are elected by the members of their party in the Senate at the beginning of each Congress. Depending on which party is in power, one serves as majority leader and the other as minority leader. The leaders serve as spokespersons for their parties' positions on issues. The majority leader schedules the daily legislative program and fashions the unanimous consent agreements that govern the time for debate. The majority leader has the right to be called upon first if several senators are seeking recognition by the presiding officer, which enables him to offer motions or amendments before any other senator. Majority and Minority Leaders Elected at the beginning of each Congress by members of their respective party conferences to represent them on the Senate floor, the majority and minority leaders serve as spokesmen for their parties' positions on the issues. The majority leader has also come to speak for the Senate as an institution. Working with the committee chairs and ranking members, the majority leader schedules business on the floor by calling bills from the calendar and keeps members of his party advised about the daily legislative program.

  • Gerald R. Ford Oral History Project Pat Buchanan Interviewed by Richard Norton Smith October 4, 2010
    Gerald R. Ford Oral History Project Pat Buchanan Interviewed by Richard Norton Smith October 4, 2010 Smith: Thanks so much for doing this. I appreciate it. Buchanan: I’m delighted. Smith: Let me ask you. First of all, what was the attitude in the Nixon White House toward the Republican Congressional leadership, and Ford in particular, during that first term? Buchanan: Well, for the first couple of years, Nixon had one of his speechwriters at all the cabinet meetings, congressional leadership and others, and I was in all the congressional leadership meetings. I think the attitude was very respectful, but I don’t think there was a sense that this was a very powerful, competent, and really able force that we had on Capitol Hill. Nixon was the first time since Zachary Taylor that we had a president with both Houses of the Congress in opposition to him and I don’t think that Nixon felt that these fellows were up to his level of the game. Smith: Would you distinguish at all, not necessarily in terms of competence, but in terms of loyalty, between a Jerry Ford and a Hugh Scott? Buchanan: I know what you’re going to say. Everybody in the White House distinguished between the two. Jerry Ford was a friend of Richard Nixon. Nixon liked him. I’d been out with Nixon for Jerry Ford in Michigan and Romney in Michigan, out there in 1996. Jerry Ford was a friend and a buddy of Nixon’s and I think they genuinely liked each other. I think Hugh Scott was looked upon as on the other side of the party.

  • Thesis-Antithesis: Clark & Casey
    Thesis-Antithesis: Clark & Casey January 31, 2007 by Dr. G. Terry Madonna and Dr. Michael Young The ghost of Joe Clark has been lurking around the edges of political news lately following the election of Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Casey Jr. to the Senate. Clark served as US Senator from Pennsylvania from 1957 until 1969. Before entering the Senate, he was mayor of Philadelphia, a lawyer, a writer (author of two books), and something of an intellectual (a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences). Clark is remembered due to the historical significance of his last electoral victory; in 1962 he was the last Democrat to be elected to a full six-year term until Bob Casey turned the trick in 2006. Clark and Casey have this history in common. But the two men seem almost polar opposites in most other ways. Tracing the backgrounds, careers, and philosophies of the pair reveal them to be virtual political antonyms--the yin and yang of Pennsylvania politics. Consider: Divergent Family Background--Clark was the quintessential blue blood, coming from a family with roots in the state dating back to the early 19th century. His family hobnobbed with the likes of lawyer/financier Jay Cooke. He attended Harvard as did his dad. He lived a life to the manor born with private country clubs and debutante parties. On the other hand, Casey was the grandson of a coal miner, was reared in a hard scrabble town, and attended Catholic school. One of seven siblings, his early background was solidly middle class, his values solidly middle American, and his politics solidly FDR Democrat.
