Robin, Hi and thanks for your response! I don't yet see a tie in, but am really start starting on my Reed line, actually I have only been researching my family genealogy for about a month now! So, I really don't know anything other than my ggGrandmother, Mary E Reed 's name! I think I might have found her family (parents) in the censuses, but am trying to verify that info! I will keep your info on file and will let you know if I find where it ties in to mine! I will share whatever I come up with! As far as my Johnston line, I think, but am not sure just yet, that it starts with my late grandfather who was born and resided in Indiana County, Indiana, PA! He went to school with Jimmy Stewart (the late actor)! But I have no other info on his family just yet. I have send for his Social Security Application Copy, but probably won't get anything back on that for another couple of months! Again, thanks! I will keep you info onhand, and will let you know if I find any tie-ins with our ancestors...please let me know if you find out anything as well! I appreciate your response! Have a great day! ~Karen In a message dated 5/19/2001 8:58:46 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: > Hi > My Jonathan b. abt.1798 PA and Jane Young b. abt. 1795 PA, family was from > Butler CO.
