Sue, I believe it is a History of Cumberland and Adams Counties, Pennsylvania, published by Warner, Beers & Co., 1886. A portion of that book is online here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/adams/area.htm , and some of the biographies from it can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/pa/adams/bios.htm . I wiill send the title page to your personal email address.
