    3. Hello, If you are researching a family of Wyoming Valley, PA you might also look at the three volume set called “Connecticut’s Pennsylvania Colony Vol 1-3” by Donna Bingham Munger. It is an index. Debbie Freeman Suzy wrote: Yes, I had to Google it to see where the Wyoming Valley was located. I had never heard of it!

They ran into an army of Tories, British Rangers and Senecas three times their number and were killed in what was known as the Wyoming Massacre. After that many surviving settlers left the frontier and their property for safety. This took place in the Wyoming Valley of PA.
