re Sherrif Sale. I assume the Sherriff sale info was taken from the newspaper. My ancestors had a similar experience in Bradys Bend during a financial crisis there, or so the family story goes, but to my knowledge there are no newpapers from the area that survived. Is there anyone in the Kittaning area that could check this out? The name is John C Benson and this happened probably after 1879. and before 1885. the story goes that "they took everything...even the beds of the baby twins. (the twins were born in 1879 and the famiy was still on the 1880 census. ) researching BENSON KAIN GALLAGHER bradys bend later jefferson co. also researching WEIS WEISSENBERGER GARNER RENNER elk co BRODERICK GLYNN mahoning co, ohio -- ireland
