I found out today that the John Wilcox and Sarah Walton I thought were buried at Ivy Mills are not there,
and not at St. Thomas, either.  So, I am really at a loss as to why they would end up on this list.  http://files.usgwarchives.net/pa/delaware/cemeteries/willcox.txt

John lived in Middletown, Delaware, PA so I am going to start researching the cemeteries around there. So strange.

This biography from Biographical Sketches

of Leading Citizens of Beaver County, Pennsylvania.  Buffalo, N.Y.,  

Chicago, Ill.: Biographical Publishing Company, 1899, pp. 331-333. gives quite a bit of great information about P.M. Wallover, who it states is the son of William Wallover.

http://files.usgwarchives.org/pa/beaver/bios/wallover-p-m.txt

I have highlighted areas I need to look up or that sound like they might fit together....

P. M. WALLOVER, an extensive oil producer and refiner of Smith's Ferry,
  Beaver county, Pa., whose portrait appears on the opposite page, was born
  near Philadelphia, Pa., in 1824. Several generations of the Wallover family
  were born in that vicinity. The birth of his father, William H., and of his
  grandfather, after whom he was named, also occurred in that part of the
  state. His grandfather, M. P. Wallover, was the son of a well-known sea
  captain. He was reared and educated in the city of Philadelphia, and at an
  early age became interested in the manufacture of paper. (?) Why would he come aboard ship?  Same person, then? In those pioneer

days all the work was done by hand, and to do an ex-
  
  332  BOOK OF BIOGRAPHIES
  
  tensive business required considerable capital. He was successful in his
  operations and established two mills, one on Mill Creek, the other on
  Wissahickon Creek. He became very wealthy. At that early day, only wealthy
  people could afford to buy a piano, and he bought one of the finest
  instruments shipped to this country. The whole family became expert players
  on this instrument.
  
  He reared a family of six children, namely: Peter; William H.; Harry, who
  went to Mexico, and there formed a partnership with a Mr. Bellfield (both of
  whom showed their patriotism by offering their place to the government for a
  garrison); Harriet, who became the wife of a Mr. Duckett, a wealthy paper
  manufacturer; Margaret (Shee); and Mary Ann.
  
  William H. Wallover, father of the subject of this sketch, obtained his
  intellectual training in Philadelphia, and, although the ad-vantages were
  meagre, he received a fair education. His first business relations were those
  with his father, whom he assisted in the paper mills. He was interested in
  that business during all of his active career. He married Harriet Mervine,
  and they reared three children: P. M., the subject of this sketch; Anna, the
  wife of General Daniel Dare; and Henry, who died at the age of six years.
  
  William H. Wallover died in 1829, and his widow married a Mr. Stott, a
  mechanic of no mean ability. He it was who put the machinery in the United
  States steamship Prince-ton. He was superintendent of the Phoenixville Iron
  Works for many years, and retained this position up to the time of his death,
  which occurred very suddenly.
  
  P. M. Wallover received his education under private tutorship. He learned the
  trade of a machinist, but, although he never followed it, he has found his
  knowledge of mechanics very useful during his business life. His first work
  was in a paper mill of his uncle, near Philadelphia, where he labored for
  eight months; he was then given the management of the establishment.
  Afterwards he became interested in two mills, working them on shares, - and
  continued thus until 1854, when he came to Beaver county to manage a mill
  opened by a relative on Little Beaver Creek. This mill was operated for three
  years. Mr. Wallover purchased property near Smith's Ferry, and on February 9,
  1860, he began to drill for oil. March 1, of that year, he struck a
  five-barrel well. This gave him encouragement, and he leased more property
  and struck a well which produced $60,000 worth of oil. He has drilled and
  operated twenty-eight wells, and all of them were good producers.
  
  In 1863, he started an oil refinery, - it being the first one in this
  district. He at once began to experiment in the oils, and his efforts were
  crowned with success. He made the first signal oil used on the Ohio River; he
  also made the first brand of wool oil used in the woolen mills, and got
  several brands of fine machinery oil. In those days the war tax was twelve
  cents per gallon, and one dollar per barrel. The firm name of the refinery
  was the Wallover Oil Co., but there were three
  
  BEAVER COUNTY  333
  
  parties interested in it. Two of them were railroad men, and when the
  railroad was put through that section, the railroad partners had to withdraw
  from the Wallover Oil Co., as it was against the rules of the railroad
  company for any of its stockholders to hold outside interests. Consequently
  Mr. Wallover purchased their shares and continued the business alone.
  
  Our subject was joined in the bonds of wedlock with Margaret Arthur. She was
  also born in Philadelphia. They have a family of eight children: Charles A.,
  now engaged in paper manufacturing; William H., who is in the oil business,
  in Indiana; Robert A., who is with his father; Joseph D., a contractor for
  drilling oil wells; Bert S., deceased; Edwin S., a salesman and teacher of
  music; Katie, deceased; and Laura (Boyd). Mr. Wallover is a Republican, and
  has served in minor offices of his town. The family is in accord with the M.
  E. church, of which he is a liberal supporter.

Waltons in Philadelphia and Bucks County

"On March 1, 1849, Mr. Pechin married Sidney M. Walton, a daughter of Isaac Walton, a farmer and saddler of Horseham township. The Walton family are of English descent, and trace their trans-Atlantic ancestry back to four brothers, who came to America before the arrival of Peen.. They afterwards located in Philadelphia and Bucks county. The Waltons are of Quaker belief and are pious and peaceable citizens. Jesse W. Walton, paternal grandfater, was a resident of Bucks county, where he owned a fine farm and was engaged in agricultural prusits. He had but one brother, Joshua, also a farmer, who had two children."

P.M. Wallover, died 1910

I'm thinking that this Wallover might be a son of Peter Wallover and a brother to William Wallover?


"P.M. Wallover, aged 86 years, one of the pioneer petroleum refiners, died Jan. 28th at the home of his son, Robert A. Wallover, at Smith's Ferry, Pa. ...He was born in Philadelphia and early became interested in paper manufacture near that city, continuing in this business until 1854, when he went to Beaver County, Pa to operate a paper mill... In 1860 he purchased property at Smith's Ferry, and began to drill for oil."

At least I figure this is "Peter Marvin Wallover" found here at findagrave:

And then his wife's name is Margaret Wallover 1829-1903.

A possibility that this Margaretta Wallover is related... and a history could tell more about her grandparents?

Why I am researching Peter Wallover

Peter Wallover appears to be married to Sarah's sister Margaretha or Margaret.  If Peter came to the U.S. on a ship  when he was about 12 (1784 according to Elizabeth Drinker's journal), that means he was born about 1772.

Peter's son William is supposedly the person whom John Christopher Kartchner went into business with, a cousin of Prudence Wilcox*. This seems right, doesn't it, for the ages?  That would put Peter Wallover about the same age as Christopher's father.

Therefore.. when Wm D. Kartchner says "a boy of ten summers" came from Germany ... couldn't it be plausible that he ("Adam Kirchner" we think) came to the U.S. the same way Peter Wallover did?   And that Peter and Adam could have been friends? And now... what about Sarah's and Margaret's family? Could these Walton's be from Germany?)

*He would be a cousin because Sarah Walton married John Wilcox and Sarah's sister Margaret married Peter Wallover. My brain's diagram:

Christopher Kartchner<Adam Kirchner + Sarah Weber?
Prudence Wilcox<Sarah Walton + John Wilcox

William Wallover<Margaret Walton + Peter Wallover

Labor in Pennsylvania - description

I think the following helps explain the entries about Peter Wallover. From "A History of Delaware County and Its People, Volume 1," p. 189.

“Labor in Pennsylvania was, at this period, of three kinds: free hired labor, bought servants for a term of years, and slaves for life. The wages of the first class for a year, with food and lodging, in the country, was about L16 for a man, and form L8 to L10 for females. The second class consisted of such persons as annually came from different countries of Europe to settle. Real or supposed oppression brought many of them here, but most of them were very poor, and came to better their fortunes. Being without means to pay their passage, which was not more than from six to eight pounds sterling for each, they, by agreement with the captain of the ship in which they arrived, were sold for a term of years to pay this small amount.

The usual term of service was four years, and the price advanced for that term, appears at this period to have been about L14, which would leave a surplus for the redemptioner, unless it was used in the payment of charges by the government. Children were frequently sold for a longer period to pay the passage-money of their parents. At the expiration of their terms of service, each was supplied with a new suit of clothes, as was then the usual case with apprentices. Some of these foreigners who were possessed of sufficient means to pay their passage, preferred being sold, as the period of service afforded them time to learn our language and the ways of the country, and at the end of that period, the funds they brought with them were invested in the purchase of a permanent home. This kind of labor being the cheapest, and within the means of a majority of the settlers, it appears to have been substituted for that of the African slave, and at this period had nearly put an end to the importation of slaves into the Province.”[1] (Having read this…. What about the idea of Peter Wallover coming on a ship? It seems to fit.

From Byberry Waltons, Volume I, 1958, by Norman Walton Swayne, Pages 59, 60

WILLIAM WALTON , born 12.23.1719 in Phila. Co., Pa., died 4.22.1770 in same, son of 34 Jeremiah Walton & Elizabeth Walmsley of Hatboro, later in Montgomery Co., Pa., married 9.26.1741 Phebe Atkinson, born 9.10. 1720, died 1773, daughter of William Atkinson & Phebe Taylor. They passed Ab?ington Mtg. 8.26.1741 and 9.30.1741 were reported married. William?s death is from Isaac Comly?s obituary notes. The Joseph Solomom Walton Ma says Phebe died 8.16.1773. The will of William of Phila. Co., drawn 7.15.1769,proved in Phila. May 17, 1770, named wife Phebe, brother Thomas, children Hannah, Phebe and John. The will of Phebe of Upper Dublin, drawn 8.7.1773, proved in Phila. Oct. 1, 1773, named the same three children. 5th of 3rd mo 1754 William Walton of Moreland, Yeoman, & wife Phoebe deeded to Thomas Walton his brother, Yeoman of same, 33 acres there by other land of Thomas, by Samuel Lloyd and John Mitchener, for 100 pounds, part of 70 acres rec?d 1 June 1749 from Samuel Preston More, wife Hannah and Richard Hill Jr, part of Nicholas More?s 10000 acres rec?d 7th of 6th mo (Aug.) 1684. from Win Penn Esq. 9th of 3rd mo 1754 the same deeded
to John Mitchener of same, Yeoman, for 110 pounds, the remaining 37 acres of the 70. Witnesses were Cephas Childs, Ellis Ellis and Thomas Walton. Both deeds were recorded in Montgomery Co. in 1854. A deed of partition between Hannah and Phebe, dated 11.28.1780 and recorded in Phila., divided 268 acres or more William had bought 1754 and 1760. It says their brother John had died minor
and his share went to them. A newspaper scrapbook clipping on the Walton Family of Upper Dublin gives more details, saying William Walton paid 600 pounds in 1731.. (probably should be 1754) for 198 acres there, willed that to son John who died not married and it descended to John?s sisters Hannah and Phebe. William also had 78 acres rec?d 1760 from Thomas McCurdy, on Butler head next his other land. In division of both these tracts Hannah got the homestead and 121 acres, Phebe 78 acres besides the 50 acres she already had. The deed for the 78 acres shows that tract on the Great Road leading from North Wales to the Lime Kiln by Michael Trump, Frederic Karns, Charles Mullin, Ellis Lewis and William Walton? a other land, and the price 170 pounds. Some of the dates above are from the
Shoemaker Gen. and the Davis History of Bucks Co. Births and burials of most of these nine children are from Abington Mtg:

James SHOEMAKER, seventh child of Isaac and Hannah, born in Upper Dublin, 10 mo. 13, 1757, was a farmer and lived all his life in Upper Dublin. He married in Horsham Meeting house, 6 mo. 1, 1781, PhebeWALTON, daughter of William and Phebe (ATKINSON) WALTON, the original certificate of the marriage engraved on parchment, as well as that of the marriage of William Walton and Phebe ATKINSON, which was solemnized at the same place, 9 mo. 26, 1741, are in the possession of the subject of this sketch. William WALTON, father of Phebe SHOEMAKER, was a resident of Moreland, and a son of Jeremiah and Elizabeth (WALMSLEY) WALTON, of Byberry. William WALTON, father of Jeremiah, was one of the four Walton brothers who landed at New Castle in 1675 and subsequently located in Byberry. He was married at Byberry, 4 mo. 29, 1689, to Sarah HOWELL, and was the first minister at Byberry after the Keithian trouble and continued to preach there for many years. Phebe (ATKINSON) WALTON was a daughter of William and Phebe (TAYLER) ATKINSON, of Upper Dublin, and granddaughter of John and Susannah (HINDE) ATKINSON, of Lancashire, England, an account of whom is given elsewhere in this volume.
William and Phebe (ATKINSON) WALTON were the parents of ten children, several of whom died young. Phebe, who married James SHOEMAKER, was the second of the name and was born 11 mo. 16, 1759. The children of James and Phebe (WALTON) SHOEMAKER were as follows; William, born 3 mo. 16. 1782; Joseph, died an infant; Isaac, born 4 mo. 6, 1785; John, born 9 mo. 8, 1786; Hannah, born 2 mo. 24, 1789; Jesse, born 4 mo. 17, 1791, see forward; Jonathan, born 9 mo. 3, 1793, married in 1822 Margaret RUTTER; Rebecca, died an infant; Rachel, born 2 mo. 28, 1798; and Phebe, born 9 mo. 2, 1802.

Bucks County Connections

I'm going on a crazy whim here, but I have found information about a Phebe Walton that I am going to follow through with. My reasoning is that she was an Atkinson, and Atkinson is a name listed for one of the sponsors at a Wilcox family baptism. (See below).

Sacramental Registers at St. Joseph's Church, Philadelphia, PA, January to December 1800.

p. 327
Scravendyke, same date*, by the same**, James, born Jan. 15th, of Peter Scravendyke and his wife Mary Wilcox [ought to be Willcox]; sponsors--George Atkinson and Prudence Slater.*3 Feb 1800, **Rev. L. Neale

These sponsors are the "godparents" so to speak, and are usually chosen by the parents, so there is obviously some connection. I'm pretty sure that Prudence Slater is Mary Willcox Scravendyke's mother, which would stand to reason that George Atkinson is also a relative.

Within that line of thinking, here is a link to "A geneological and personal history of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Volume 1".

Wm. D. Kartchner also mentions in his diary that when his father dies on 2 April 1826, "Our connections came from Philadelphia and Bucks Co., to the funeral, which was a large attendance of carriages."

Middletown township

Middletown township was first settled in 1681, the township named for its position in the center of what was then Chester County (prior to the creation of Delaware County in 1789).

Baptism records at St. Joseph's

The following entries for baptisms were made in the sacramental registers at St. Joseph's Church, Philadelphia, PA from January to December, 1791. (339 baptisms for the year)

I've transcribed information about anyone I think might be remotely related.

p. 147:

WHAT I LEARNED FROM THIS RECORD:
If I have interpreted other records correctly, Thomas Wilcox, Sabina Webb, and John Wilcox are all children of James Willcox, making their children first cousins.  It would make sense then, why, Thomas--who was born in 1787--would be baptized in 1791 on the same day as Mary. I also wondered if by a slim chance "Cottringer" is "Kartchner" spelled phonetically, and if Charleton Alexander Walton might lead me to the Walton family, if his parents John and Sarah are related at all to our Sarah Walton. Sarah is a very common name. :(

John, Sarah Walton

Here is a possible connection.

"Walton, the 13th, by Rev. F. A. Fleming, Charelton Alexander Walton, born May 1772, of John Walton (Prot.) and his wife Sarah (Catholic), sponsors James Alexander Coskin (2) [or Corksin] and Mary Byrne, Catholics.

http://books.google.com/ebooks/reader?id=cZVJAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&output=reader&source=webstore_bookcard&pg=GBS.PA149

It's interesting to note that these are baptisms for 1791.

Records say Waltons are from Scotland

In the Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Volume 15 it states:

James and Prudence (Doyle) Willcox had issue:

i Ann, b. about 1754; m. Capt. John Cassin, of Philadelphia.
ii John, b. about 1756; buried 10, 1, 1818; m. Sarah Walton, of Scotland. He was a hatter, and lived and died in Middletown, Del. Co., Pa.
iii Thomas... m. Hannah Worrall, then Catherine King.
iv  Mary... m. Peter Scravendyke, of Philadelphia.
v Elizabeth, m. Capt Henry Bicker, then William McMurray, and then Thomas Hoggard.

This is what is moving me away from the Byberry Waltons who came from England and instead to other Waltons from Scotland. The book was published in 1904, and doesn't indicate from which records they pulled the information.

THE OTHER OPTION I AM LOOKING AT NOW IS THAT SCOTLAND IS A COMMUNITY IN PA:

Facts from: http://pennsylvania.hometownlocator.com/pa/franklin/scotland.cfm

Scotland is a community or populated place (Class Code U5) located in Franklin County at latitude 39.969 and longitude -77.587 (Scotland Panoramio Photos). The elevation is 702 feet. Scotland appears on the Scotland U.S. Geological Survey Map.Franklin County is in the Eastern time zone (GMT -5). Observes DST? Yes. Current Time. | Chambersburg, PA ZIP Code Maps

Scotland had a population of 0; a land area of 0.82 sq. miles; a water area of 0 sq. miles; and a population density of 0.00 people per sq. mile according to the US Census Bureaue estimate of July 1, 2009.

Sarah's resting place

THIS IS NOT CORRECT. I visited Ivy Mills Cemetery personally in 2012, and neither John nor Sarah are buried here according to the headstones in the cemetery or any official records.

Sarah is buried in the Willcox Family Homestead Burying Ground, also known as Ivy Mills Cemetery. It's a private cemetery on 109 Ivy Mills Road in Concord Township, Delaware County, PA, according to the website below.

http://files.usgwarchives.net/pa/delaware/cemeteries/willcox.txt

I haven't been there personally. I have not found pictures of the cemetery online.  I plan on going there someday.

From this record I am starting with the following information:
