On my mother's side, my great-great grandmother was
born Rebecca Eachus, married James Lavery in the
Mid-1800s. On a visit 2002 to Media, Pa to my
mother's cousins, one cousin brought a file of old
family materials...I had expected to do a little research,
however this was a bonus... I have a copy of a letter
to Rebecca Eachus when a cousin(?) was posted in the
"Hateful hills of Pittsburgh" (signed "Margaret
Clark" February 5 1843...I also have naturalization paper
(or citizenship) for James Lavery dated 1843 officially, but showing emigrated from Ireland 1838...(5 years would make
sense). Don't know if these Eachus' have anything to do ]
with yours, but the County is certainly correct..
Also have photocopy of marriage license from 1848.
For some reason, amongst this and other obvious family
connected material, there was a "bookplate"(print) of the
"Res. of Richard Chown" Lima, Delaware Co, PA"
no-one as been able to relate just who or how the Chown's
would figure into our family...
Other names in conjunction with the Eachus are
Lavery, Evans & Hughes.
