Roger, Concerning whether Buffington or Hoffman: I have as the parents of Catherine Buffington (married to Benneville Welker) John Buffington and Catherine Susan Biterman. I also have in my notes this: Name: Catharine Hoffman Sex: F Birth: 13 FEB 1809 in Lykens Twp., Dauphin Co., PA Death: 28 JAN 1882 in Lykens Twp., Dauphin Co., PA Burial: Zion Lutheran (Klinger's Church), Erdman, Dauphin Co., PA Change Date: 27 APR 1999 Marriage 1 John Buffington b: 7 JAN 1804 Children George Buffington b: 27 OCT 1828 Susanna Buffington b: 1841 Catherine Buffington b: 1848 With a notation that some have Catherine Hoffman as the same person as Catherin Susan Biterman. Catherine Hoffman's parents were Henry C Hoffman and Sarah Welker, and that Sarah Welker and Jacob Welker (father of Benneville) were first cousins. WARNING - Some of the data from Zion Luthern Church in Lykens and a couple others in this area may come from secondary sources, such as the transcription by certain individuals which I have found to be inaccurate when compared to the primary sources.

I am looking for information on the family of George W. Finney of Dauphin County. He lived there in the 1850 and 1860 census records. He had several children. I am interested in learning more of his son Isaac and if he shared the same middle initial as his brother James B. Finney. I am also curious if this Isaac Finney moved on to Tuscarawas County. Is anybody researching or has researched this family. Thank you in advance for all of your efforts as they are greatly appreciated. Gerald Finney Fresno, California

If anyone on this list has a subscription to Ancestry, would you be willing to do a simple lookup for me? Our high school is having its 50th reunion and I have reason to believe one classmate's wife's family tree is on Ancestry. We have been unable to locate him and I was hoping the Tree might give us a clue. His wife was from Pennsylvania. I realize this is sort of non-gen so hope it's ok. Please contact me off-list. Thank you. Marjorie marjorie@gmavt.net
