Can anyone on the list tell me what relationship Peter Waggoner was to the John Smith (d. 1849 Loyalhanna, Westmoreland county, PA) family in 1849? I'm also interested in how Barbara Young fit into this family. Peter lived in Adams Co. PA at the time his name was mentioned in John Smith's 1849 Loyalhanna, Westmoreland Co., PA will. Among the things John bequeathed his wife Catherine was "...and all the Money in the Hands of Peter Waggoner of Adams County comeing from her Fathers Estate." I understand that Catherine's (Katy's) maiden name was Gooden, but I do not know who her parents were. Items were bequeathed by John Smith as follows: Item 1: general will statement about paying his debts and burial expenses Item 2: ... to Catherine, my wife (several items were listed) Item 3: one dollar to Elizabeth Funk, my daughter Item 4: one dollar to Ann Becham/Zecham, my daughter Item 5: "I give and bequeath unto the lawfull Heirs of John Smith (Decsd) one dollar" (This is an interesting item) Item 6: one dollar to Jacob Smith, my son Item 7: one dollar to Catharine Litle, my daughter Item 8: one dollar to Barbara Young, no relationship stated Item 9: ... to Benjamin Smith, my son (several items were listed; Benjamin was named executor) The will was witnessed by Issac Hughes and Jacob Smel/Smil [Smith?] Sir John's name appears to have been signed in old German script or maybe a hybridized version of old German and English script.
