Hi, William Hedglin was my 3 great grandfather. Maybe I can add something to the record. 1. I know everyone says William Hedglin was born in 1752 but in several places in his RW record, it says William was born in 1760 NOT 1752. I think the record should be taken as proof, don't you? 2. William Hedglin applied for a pension but died before he received it. On 9Mar1859 Sarah "Sally" Compton received $23.33 for six month's pension from 4Sep1858 to 4Mar1859. I would like proof of where and when Sarah died. 3. Although the record says Sarah's last name was Germo or Gomo, it was actually DeGarmo. She was the daughter of Paul DeGarmo. 4. One place in the record Sarah says she married Stephen Compton and another place she says Andrew Compton. I have a land deed dated 6Jan1851 signed by Andrew and Sarah Compton selling land in Luzerne Co. PA to James Roloson. 5. According the RW record signed by Sarah Compton on 12May1847 it says Elizabeth Hedglin was married to Paul or Pane Perry. There was an ink blot over the last part of his first name. 6. I think Esther Hedgerland who was living in Orange Co. NY in 1833 could have been Hester Kirk who married Sarah and William's son, George Hedglin as his second wife. I'd like to correspond with anyone doing research on any of William and Sarah's children. I'm always willing to share info. Ethel Flannery [email protected]
