Thank you so very much for the information Jess. Would you happen to know if a picture of the Joshua & Francis Marion Muncy's you mention below exists. both would be GGG Uncles of mine & brothers to my GG Grandfather Samuel Luther Muncy. I have been searching high & low for pictures of any of Samuel Luther Muncy's siblings, but to date have not been lucky enough to find someone that has one. Again, thank you for all your help Jess.
