Fayette County, Pennsylvania Biographies
consists
of no fewer than 500 sketches of Fayette County inhabitants living at the time  of the book's original publication in 1889. The sketches are arranged by city or  township and then alphabetically for each of the following localities:  Brownsville and Bridgeport, Bullskin, Connellsville, Dunbar, Franklin, Georges,  German, Henry Clay, Jefferson, Luzerne, Menallen, Nicholson, Redstone, Salt  Lick, Springfield, Springhill, Stewart, Tyrone, Uniontown, Washington, and  Wharton. While most of the sketches primarily discuss the individual's  education, career, political and religious leanings, etc., they also give, at a  minimum, the subject's date and place of birth, names of parents, name of  spouse(s), date of marriage, names of children, and names of spouse's parents.  In some cases, of course, the genealogical content is much richer, as when a  subject's ancestors had fought in the Revolution or were born abroad. While the  work lacks an index, researchers will find that the detailed table of contents  makes it easy to locate the principal subject of each essay.
