I am looking for any information on the following people: Robert McGahey (McGaughey) his wife Rachel Parks whom he married prior to 1820 son James P. (Parks?) McGahey born 1826 in Butler County. Robert is found on the 1820 and 1830 census in Middlesex Township. Robert moved to Beaver county prior to 1840. I believe Robert to have married Lucy Rennison prior to 1840. I have no confirmation on the dates of marriages to Robert and would love to have them. Any help is greatly appreciated - Regards, D

Just an update, the Butler Public Library will reopen at 9 a.m., Thursday, January 16, 2003.

My interest in the WOLFORD family goes back to the German origins in Wuerttemberg & Baden of WOHLFAHRT/WOLFHARDT. I am not descended from the American WOLFORDs, but have worked with descendants in an attempt to prove Johannes/John WOLFHARDT/WOLFORD of Berks Co PA was a descendant. About 5 generations of descendants of Henry & Mary (FRICK) WOLFORD are in my database and will gladly share these. Henry's father, Johannes/John WOLFORD was the s/o John Georg WORLFORD and 1/w Elizabeth ZIMMERMAN. Henry's mother is believed to have been Maria Barbara YOCKEY (JACKE in Westmoreland Co), but had not been proven the last I heard. I will be glad to share these American records (about 1800 descs) either by gedcom or .rtf with anyone interested. Sharon A. Huffman sharhuff @aol.com

Hi Sharon, Thanks, I'd love to share. The name "YOCKEY" and Westmoreland Co rang a bell - I've corresponded off and on for some time with Janet K Warter (nee Kirchner), her grandmother was Clara May YOCKEY 1883-1914 whose father was Benjamin Harrison YOCKEY 1854-1926 m. Anna Mary Barnhart 1853-1935. My connection with Janet is through the Brinker family. I don't know but it's possible Janet has more info about the YOCKEY family. Last email I have for her is: jkwarter@socal.rr.com I take it that "Yockey" is an anglicized spelling of "Jacke"? -Mary maryliz1@attbi.com ----- Original Message ----- From: <Sharhuff@aol.com> To: <PABUTLER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 6:50 AM Subject: [PABUTLER-L] Re: WOLFORD > My interest in the WOLFORD family goes back to the German origins in > Wuerttemberg & Baden of WOHLFAHRT/WOLFHARDT.

Looking for Richardson information in these areas of PA. Having a hunch that a John, Milton, or possibly Newton could be in the family. Am looking for my great grandfather Wayne Kennedy Richardson. He named his first son John Milton, and his last son Milton Dewey. Wayne was in born 1854, not sure where in PA, but feel it is in the Butler County area. Later I pick him up in Washington County in the 1880 census. My goal is to find his birth place and his parents. I know of no siblings but hoping someone might find him in the 1860 or1870 census in Butler County or Washington county. Thanks Ron Richardson

Pat could you please contact me. Thank you. Etta Miller donegal@wononline.net

I have Thomas W. McKissick and Martha Phillips of Butler Co. Also Ruby McKissick,b. 1897.Any info on them?? Barbara Davis

If you use the side entrance between the church and parsonage you will be on the lower level and just inside is the room we will use. See you there, Ed

I will have my daughter's cell phone with me tonight in the event anyone gets misplaced on their way to tonight's meeting. 724-290-0573 Thanks, Pat www.rootsweb.com/~pabutle2

There is a complete list of all the postmasters of Butler County in the Butler Area Public Library. You may email Luanne Eisler at Genealogy@butler.library-online.org for more information. But do remember the library is closed this week due to moving/renovations, so please wait until next week. I"m sure she has a backlog at this point. Thanks! Pat

Pat, Thanks! This should be fun finding out about our "Aunt Georgie" (grandaunt, Georgiana FRITZ). She never married and helped so many in our family; even helped them buy houses! That's how my dad owned his first home.

How do I find information on Post Masters in Saxonburg, PA. in the 1830's to the 1900? Any pictures of the Post Masters? I know there was a Emil/Amil Stuebgen and his wife finished out his term after his death. Any help would be appreciated. Beth

Thanks for informing us. I had been expecting a package and wondered if it was lost in the mail. Thanks...bj

Hi Connie, Would you happen to be a descendent of James Dickey ca. 1730-1804? I was wondering if you may know his parentage? Thanks, Susan
