SUMMARY:Women in Revolutionary War Era Records
DESCRIPTION:Connie Potter will talk about “Women in Revolutionary War Era Records.” Although there are few records of women soldiers in the Revolution\, the National Archives holds records that describes the lives of women both during and after the war. \n\n\n\nIncluded in her talk is Barbara Syren\, who fought briefly in Col. Oliver Spencer’s Regiment; the pension file of William and Mary Graham\, who lived in upstate New York after the war; Esther Damon\, who received a widow’s pension until 1811; and Sarah Townsend\, who petitioned the Continental Congress for grievances against the British Navy. Potter’s lecture will include images of many of the records.  She will also explain how you can find the records online at local libraries and the Philadelphia Branch of the National Archives. She will leave time for questions and answers at the end of the lecture. \n\n\n\nConstance Potter is retired from the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington.  At the Archives\, she specialized in federal records of interest to genealogists and helped prepare for the openings of the 1920\, 1930\, and 1940 censuses.  She also lectured and wrote on a variety of topics including Women in the Revolutionary War\, The Papers of the Continental Congress\, Laura Ingalls Wilder in Federal records\, the influence of weather on genealogy\, and census records. \n\n\n\nNow a volunteer at the National Archives\, Potter is preparing a reference information paper on finding records for soldiers who fought in World War I.

SUMMARY:The Unique Tredyffrin Jones Log Bank Barn & Its Distant Log Barn Cousins
DESCRIPTION:Greg Huber will present “The Unique Tredyffrin Log Bank Barn and Its Distance Log Barn Cousins” on Wednesday\, October 21. His talk will focus on the unique Tredyffrin Township log bank barn\, the Jones Log Barn\, that was dismantled in the fall of 2000. This barn had some remarkable aspects and even its mere existence and survival into the 21st century was miraculous. \n\n\n\nIncluded in Huber’s talk is a perspective on log barn architecture as it developed in southeast Pennsylvania and beyond. Its evolution makes for a fascinating tale and the unusual role that the Jones Log Barn played. The barn was a very rare English based structure as opposed to the far more common German related constructed log barn styles that were built in many counties in Pennsylvania. You will learn many of the constituent parts of these very old structures and also gain some insight into how to estimate the construction era of old barns. It is not as difficult as you might imagine.  \n\n\n\nGreg Huber is a barn and house historian\, consultant\, and owner of Past Perspectives and Eastern Barn Consultants who creates house and barn histories. Since 1971\, Huber has specialized in pre-1840 house and barn architecture of Holland Dutch\, English\, and Pennsylvania Swiss-German cultures.  Huber has documented more than 8\,000 vernacular buildings\, over 3\,000 homestead houses and 5\,000 barns. He has authored 200 articles and co-authored two books — ‘The New World Dutch Barn’ and ‘Stone Houses -Traditional Homes of Pennsylvania’s Bucks County and Brandywine Valley’.

SUMMARY:The Pennsylvania Railroad Stations of Tredyffrin and Easttown Townships
DESCRIPTION:Strafford Train Station\n\n\n\nGreg Prichard an experienced designer\, historian\, and lecturer. A native of Wayne\, he pursued a master’s degree in historic preservation planning at Cornell University\, where his thesis explored the history and preservation issues relating to the historic train stations of the Main Line. His business\, Prichard Design & History Studio\, focuses on bringing historic sites to life through projects such as interpretive signs. He is a board member of both the Radnor Historical Society and the Tredyffrin-Easttown Historical Society. \n\n\n\nGreg will talk about several train stations of the Main Line\, focusing on those in Tredyffrin and Easttown Townships. Main Line development began with the railroad as its commercial and social backbone\, from the inns that depended on its patrons in the 1830s to the builders who clustered housing developments around train stations in the late 19th century. The stations were built as grand statements of corporate superiority and many remain as recognizable gateways to their communities. \n\n\n\nGreg will speak about station architecture and history\, myths vs. reality\, the evolution and growth of the railroad in the area\, and how past (and future) restoration efforts helped the stations to endure. \n\n\n\nThe Trust thanks guest lecturer Greg Prichard for his charitable sponsorship of  this lecture and his continuing historic preservation work in the community.
