That is why I asked whether you knew who he was. > -->As I stated earlier, all my Kyger's went on to IL. I'm not sure if > they all went at the same time, but I believe this to be so.

I do know his actual birth date, so we don't need to guess on > that part. Yes--I was taking that into account. I didn't really think that was your Daniel in Northumberland Co., PA--since we do have that one book on West Virginia which lists your Daniel involved in a road survey around Ice's Ferry, WV at about the same time.
