Gertrude Blewitt has "26" in age-at-first-marriage column, but faint (erased?);
next person down has a bolder "26" in that column. Probably the number was
originally written in the wrong row, since Gertrude's marital state was
"single."

Joseph Robinette Biden, Sr., age 86, died Monday, September 2, 2002, at the
suburban Wilmington home of his oldest son, United States Senator, Joseph R.
Biden, Jr.
Mr. Biden was born November 13, 1915 in Baltimore, MD, the son of the late
Joseph H. Biden and the former Mary Elizabeth Robinette. While he was still a
boy, his family moved to Wilmington, where he attended St. Paul’s School and
Wilmington High School before graduating from St. Thomas Academy in Scranton,
PA, where the family was then residing.
In 1941, Mr. Biden, while employed as a sales representative for Amoco Oil
Company in Harrisburg, PA, married Jean Finnegan of Scranton.
During World War II, Mr. Biden was an executive in Boston, MA, of a war industry
that supplied "plastic hulls," a special waterproof sealant, applied to all U.S.
merchant-marine ships built during the war. Following the war, he was co-owner
of an airport and crop-dusting service on Long Island, New York. In 1953 he
moved with his family to the Wilmington suburb of Mayfield in Claymont, DE and
returned to sales as manager for several Wilmington automobile agencies. He then
spent 15 years working in real estate condominium sales in New Castle County and
in Rehoboth Beach for the Patterson-Schwartz agency.
Throughout his working life and during his retirement, Mr. Biden shared with his
wife, his three sons and daughter, his ten grandchildren and his three great
grandchildren a strong orientation to family life and personal integrity. He
valued his reputation as an honorable man and as a family man, and with his
wife, he conveyed his values consistently to his children and their children.
Both at home and in the business world, his word was his bond and he was proud
of that.
Mr. Biden is survived by his wife of 61 years, Jean Finnegan Biden; and by his
oldest son, U.S. Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr., his wife Jill Jacobs Biden and
their three children, Joseph R. Biden III; Ashley Blazer Biden; and R. Hunter
Biden of Wilmington, his wife Kathleen and their three children, Naomi,
Finnegan, and Maisy; by his daughter, Valerie Biden Owens of Kennett Square, PA,
her husband John T. Owens, their daughters Valerie James Owens and Catherine
Eugenia Owens and their son, Cuffe Biden Owens; and by his two younger sons,
James Brian Biden of Merion Station, PA, his wife, Sara Jones Biden and their
three children, James Brian Biden, Jr., Caroline Nicole Biden and Nicholas
Colman Biden; and Francis W. Biden of Florida and his daughter, Alana Jaquet
Biden.
Friends may call from 5 - 9 p.m., Wednesday, September 4 at St. Joseph on the
Brandywine Church at 10 Old Church Road in Greenville. Mass of Christian Burial
will be held at the Church on Thursday morning at 9 am and interment will follow
at the St. Joseph on the Brandywine Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the Biden Scholarship
Fund at Archmere Academy or to First State Hospice, Inc. of Wilmington.

The following LIDDELLS are my relatives. If anyone has any information on them,

Robert Liddell (1844-?) m Susan Baumberger, and had the following children:
William (1866-?), Emiline (1871-?), Robert 1872-?), John (1876-?), Frank
(1877-?), and my grandfather George Franklin Liddell (1880-1930). George had
married Katie Helmling. As far as I know, my relatives are all deceasd.
Robert's(1844-?) father was born in England, but my understanding is that the
family originally came from Scotland. I need my UK relatives names, etc. Also if
you have any information on the lives of any of these Liddell's, I would
appreciate the information. Except for Susan, all listed were born in Baltimore,
MD.

Baltimore, MD. He may have been the son of William and Mary Little of Lehigh,
Essex, England. He married Emiline "Emily" WOODEN. She was born Abt 1812 in MD.
I believe that John and Emily, along with Thomas and William died before 1860.
The 1860 Census shows Robert Theodore Liddell living with his sister Rebecca and
her husband, and John Dawson Liddell living with his sister Mary Ann and her
husband.
Children of John LIDDELL and Emiline "Emily" WOODEN are:
i. Mary Ann Liddell was born 6 Dec 1833 in Baltimore, MD, and died
22 Jul 1906.
ii. Thomas Liddell was born 1837 in Baltimore, MD.

until aft 1860.
vi. John Dawson Liddell Sr was born Sep 1851 in Baltimore, MD,
and died 29 Jan 1927 in Baltimore, MD. John lived with his

Wooden. He married Susan E BOMBERGER. She was born 9 May 1844 in Baltimore, MD,
and died 25 Jul 1924 in a Methodist Church Home for the aged in Baltimore, MD.
Robert and Susan had 11 children altogether, but only 4 were living at the 1910
Census. She was the daughter of John Hamage Bomberger (born in VA) and Susan
Launderslager (born in MD).

Another Hazleton pioneer is dead in the person of Lewis G. Blackwell, who passed
away at his home on East Mine Street late Saturday afternoon at the age of 81
years. He was born at Newport, this county, in 1826, and at an early age went
with his father and the rest of the family to Hackettstown, N. J., where he
lived until he was 18 years of age. In 1844 he came to Hazleton, where he
resided ever since. When he first came to Hazleton he was employed by A. Pardee
in the foundry and later on he worked for the same company as a fireman and
engineer. In 1864 he met with an accident in a collision at Black Creek
Junction, which crippled him so badly that he could not work for a year.
Later he worked for A. Pardee & Co. in the machine shop, where he remained until
1890, when he was forced to retire on account of his injured limb. His
grandfather was born in England and fought in the Revolutionary war with
Washington. He is survived by one sister, residing in Gillman, Ill., also his
aged wife and the following children: Gardner, of Weatherly, William, Harry, and
Ellsworth, of Hazleton; George, of Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook, N. J., a
private in heavy artillery; Mrs. William Purdy, of Hazleton; Mrs. Edward Bannon
of Port Carbon; Mrs. Edward Blewitt, Scranton. Mr. Blackwell was married in 1854
to Miss Almena Krapf, a sister to Casper Krapf, of this city.
The Funeral will take place on Tuesday afternoon. Services will be held at the
house by Rev. Russell.

Message Board Post:
Sorry this took so long, but I just started digging deeper into my family. I'm
Tom Langan (1941-), originally from Scranton PA, and have both Brogans and
Blewitts in my family all from Ballina, Co. Mayo area. Here's the story: My
grandfather's (James Langan b. 1875 d. 1950) mother is Barbara Brogan (c.
1832-1910). She married my ggrandfather, Patrick Langan about 1860. I don't have
much about the Brogan's of Scranton, but will keep you posted as I find out. I
found some census records of Barbara's family, and will dig them up for future
citation.
I have a lot about the Blewitts. My gggrandfather was Thomas Blewitt, a land
surveyor in IR. Thomas was married to Mary Gilroy (no other info on her). Thomas
had two brothers: James (no further info) and Edward (b. 1795 d. 1871 in
Scranton), a land surveyor and planner in Scranton PA. These brothers were born
about 1790 - 1805. There may be more siblings, but I have no further info. After
Thomas died, his children moved to the Scranton area in 1850 from Belfast, IR to
be near their Uncle, Edward. The children were a son, Thomas (c. 1836 - 1929 -
died in Butte, MT area), and four daughters: Mary Blewitt Crowley of Olypant,
PA, Celia Blewitt Gillespie of Scranton, PA, Bridgitt Blewitt Kelly of Scranton,
PA (my ggrandmother ) and Julia Blewitt Reilly of Dunmore, PA. The four
daughters were born about 1830 - 35). When Thomas's family arrived in NY, they
were met by thier first cousin, Patrick Blewitt, son of Edward.
FYI, there was a book published about this Blewitt family titled: Celia by one
of her grandchildren, Joseph T. Reilley. Joe was born in 1899, and lived in NJ
when I met him in the early 1990's - he was about 92 years old. Joe has since
passed away. His book was copyrighted in 1987, and the copyright page cites:
"Library of Congress Cataloging in Unpublished Data, Reilley, Joseph J., 1899 -
CELIA, I. Title, TXu 9-643 09027, October 10, 1978."
Several members of the Edward Blewitt family of Scranton have been prominent:
one as a newspaper reporter for the Scranton Times, and one as a State Senator,
if I remember correctly, in the 1950s.
Hopefully this will help you get started. Regards, Tom Langan
