From there they would travel through Smithport then Warren. One road would have taken them through Dunnstown then Emporia to Point Alleghany, the other through Coudersport to Point Alleghany. From Jersey Shore they could have taken two different roads. The Coover family along with some members of the Bonnell family continued west. At least 3 of Andrews children married member's of the Bonnell family.

Unfortunately there is no general index for these very extensive tax records, however, the records are alphabetized by year. These records are particularly helpful for the period prior to the first census in 1790 and for the period between 18 with the absence of the 1890 census. The tax collector made his rounds every year and missing someone was rare.Īnnual tax records can be very helpful in establishing your ancestor’s location, personal possessions, real estate, economic status and sometimes they included the occupations and family relationships of your ancestors. The census was only read once every ten years and often families were missed. Every genealogist has used a census record at one time or another to help locate their ancestors.
