What's going on here - shotgunning? I am willing to help you; however, I don't want to do a lot of unnecessary research. Also, when you contact others in this area, I would like to know who, so we can touch base with each other to avoid duplicate effort. This is a small town and “everyone knows everyone”!

It is probable that their marriage occurred in Centre County.

I understand Charles' wife died when the children were very young. TORRENCE is believed to have lived with one grandparent for a short period of time and was then placed in some sort of boys/foundling/orphan home. I believe this foundling home was in the Clinton/Centre/Lycoming area. He surfaced in Omaha, NE in his adulthood. > > Hoping someone will recognize a name (or the foundling home). > > Good luck with all of your searches, > > C.
