Thanks Pat! They are my family. Benjamin is my ggg grandfather. I know what happened to Alexander, John William, and Ben but have no clue about the rest of the family. Some of the girls may have married in the Allegany County area but can't locate James or Mary after 1850. Do you know if there would be death records for the 1850s? --------------------------------- Looking for earth-friendly autos? Browse Top Cars by "Green Rating" at Yahoo! Autos' Green Center.
