Clover Creek is east of Ro aring Spring, along the Blair-Bedford Co border. ------------- from a Biddle genealogy by Mrs. Ray Murray of Fremont, Ohio The German spelling seems to be Buttle, but other spellings were Bittle or Beedel. It wa s a habit of early tax assessors, etc., to spell a name the way it sounded to them. Andrew a nd his brothers, George, Thomas and Peter came America from Hesse Cassel, Germany on the shi p "Phoenix," John Spurier, commander, starting from Rotterdam and then from Portsmouth, Engla nd and landed in Philadelphia on 2 Nov. 1752. The passengers as listed were Andreas Buttel a nd Hans Georg Buttel. Thomas and Peter were not listed, but historians believe this is becaus e they were less than 16 years old, in which case they would not have been listed on the ship 's roster. There could have also been other younger siblings or wives or other relatives wh o would not have been listed. The above information is according to "Names of 30,000 Immigran ts to Pennsylvania" by I. Daniel Rupp Mrs. Murray also list the father of Andrew as George Biddle.. ------------------ Notes for CHRISTINA Cover: Mary Christina ---------- IGI has birth year as about 1761 ------------- Subj: RE: Biddle cemetery Date:8/28/00 8:00:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time From:[email protected] (Ramona Householder) To:[email protected] CC:[email protected] (BIDDLE) Hello! My notes (not verified yet) say that Andrew was buried "Lower graveyard near Roaring Springs " and his wife Christina Cover is suppose to be buried in this Biddle Cemetery. There are se veral stones mostly buried (about 6) that I need to bring up before I can figure out who the y are and several with just initials, which is why I am looking for a more complete listing o f children and offspring. I am not sure what "Lower graveyard near Roaring Springs" means - but I am working on it! Peter, John's brother is buried across the street i n Snively Cemetery and Julian Biddle who is the right age to be a brother but that I have nev er heard of. Hope this helps!

Twp then Woodberry Twp in 1800. Poss b Clover Creek PA rather than Frederick From Mary Inglis Sims: Death date of 1850; Birth date is 1777/1782. Vashti Seaman: thought that Uriah Spencer who bought a farm in Fulton co OH 1838 is the sam e as Zachariah Spencer. Comment: Mary Inglis Sims has death date of 1850 for wife, if this is right then Uria h is not Zachariah since Uriah was a widower in 1838. -------------------------- Notes for Zachariah Spencer: A certain Rev. Uriah Spencer, possibly was short for Zachariah, came to Fulton Co., Ohio, a s a widower in 1838.
