Hello! I'm new to the list, and am working on the McArdle and Hanratty families who lived in Beaver and Summerhill Townships 1840-1860. Specifically looking for information on Peter and Patrick MC ARDLE, and James and Thomas HANRATTY. Also, Catharine MC ARDLE, age 7, born Ireland, was on the 1850 census with the HANRATTY family. Were the MC ARDLE and HANRATTY families related? What happened to the rest of the McARDLE children after their parents died? S. S. McDOWELL was named guardian in 1854. Some of the McARDLE line ended up in Erie County, Pa. (McKean Township) by the late 1800s. Thanks for any leads! Debbie
