Historical Records

  • Alvah was in Cromwell, Huntingdon, PA in the 1840 Federal Census. Based on the ages and sexes in the household, it would appear to be Alvah, his wife Catherine, and 4 children (2 males under 5, a female under 5, and a female 10-14)
  • Alvah (age 47) was in Cromwell, Huntingdon, PA in the 1850 Federal Census. Alvah, Catherine, and 6 children (Hester, Joseph, John, Samuel, William, and Mary).
  • Alvah (age 57) was in Cromwell, Huntingdon, PA in the 1860 Federal Census. A 78 year old "Sarah Chilcoat" was living with his family -- his mother?
  • In 1864, an IRS tax assessment lists Alvah. Location: Cromwell Twp. Occupation: Cattle Slaughter. No. in Abstract (?): 152. Quantity (?): 4. Valuation: (blank). Rate of Tax: 40c. Amount of Tax upon Particular Article: 1.60. Total: 1.60.[12]
