I had some from my line come to your county from New York as well as Pennsylvania. Also, Dephine Hanna is related to the McPhersons, she was at Oberlin College in 1885 and retired in 1920. I can send you my GEDCOM file, or my notes file if you interested in having the information. Spelling on McPhersons can be Mac, Ferson Phearson Furson Phirson and AAferson Thanks, Lowell >> Hi Lowell, Sorry, but I don't do lookups on a Surname alone. It could be overwhelming , and take away from the time I can spare on lookups for others. For example, a quick check of some of our Huron County, Ohio publications showed almost 120 references to the surname MCPHERSON. And that didn't include spelling variations.. These publications included our Cemetery Inscriptions book; Williams' History of the Fire Lands; the 1870 Census Index; and Baughman's History of Huron County, Ohio. If you go to the HCC/OGS home page (www.rootsweb.com/~ohhuron) and click on the link "Lookups," you'll find the guidelines , and names of books, that I and other volunteers use for their lookups. If you have a specific MCPHERSON forebear that you know lived in Huron County, Ohio, give me the full name, including middle initial if possible, and any other details such as period and place of residence, and I'll be happy to do a full search for the individual.
