AOL EmailThis message is from [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] Hi Garrett Co. families!! The stories are interesting that you all have been posting. I come from the Casper Durst & Caderina (Catherine) Bittinger side of the generations. I too read about Old Henry Bittinger, written that he said he "had trouble with the old yellow buggers," meaning the Indians. If I am correct it is written that it was strange that he would say that since his mother was thought to have been part Indian. Also the medicine stories made me think of William Wyland , married to one of the daughters of Henry Durst & Barbara Garlitz who became blind from small pox. It was written that William was one of the cancer curing doctors of his era and territory. He passed the remedy on to his son Joel who had the ingredients but not the amount to mix so the recipe was lost forever, so it was written. Interesting families in the Garrett Co. region. ==== MDGARRET Mailing List ==== Looking for your Garrett County ancestors?
