• Notes

  On 10 MAy 1803 Walter Charles and Sarah his wife, "late widow of John Pauley" entered another petition for inquest and/or partition naming John Pauley's seven children: John, Thomas and James Pauley, Agnes, wife of Isaac Sellers; Sarah, wife of Archibald Ewing, Elsey and Elizabeth Pauley. At the inquest held at the home of Walter Charters of Greenwood Township on 8 September 1803 before William Sterritt Esq., Sheriff of Mifflin County, the jury decided that the property, a messuage and two adjoining tracts containing 200 acres, could not be suitably divided, but should be evaluated at $2460. On 30 March 1807 this decision was set aside and a new petition of Walter and Sarah Charters again named John Pauley's seven children with two new developments: John Pauley Jr. is dead leaving one daughter for whom Samuel Sharron is appointed guardian; Elizabeth Pauley is now the wife of Samuel Miller. In the 1790 census Walter Charters was listed as a resident in Northumberland County Pennsylvania; his household had one male over 16, one younger male and two females. According to the will of their grandfather (1795), Walter and his first wife Sarah Irvine had three chldren: Margaret, William and Elizabeth Charters. In the 1800 census of Greenwood Township, Mifflin County, Walter Charters and his then wife (Sarah McTeer Pauley) were listed as 16026 ( a much too optimistic figure!); their household had five children 10-16 years, two boys, three girls, with and additional girl under ten years. Thomas Pauley, James Pauley, and Agnes (Pauley) Sellers were listed in separate households. In the 1810 census of Greenwood, Walter Charters was shown as over 45 years; his houselold had two males, one Female aged 16-26, one girl 10-16, and one boy under ten years. On 14 April 1812 and again on 15 May 1812 Walter Charters deeded land in Greenwood Township to Joseph Barge. ---------- Reference: McTeer - Mateer Families of Cumberland County Pennsylvania, Frances Davis McTeer, 1975, p 41,42.
