Hi, I searched the 1850 and 1869 census ..the name McGurvey and McGervey - nothing. McGarvey did come up for noth. NONE of the names came up. Did Harriet have a middle name ? Anything else about her family ? I thought I would find her in census but no luck.

Elizabeth, That's going to be a difficult search because those censuses don't contain dates that specific. You could search for the year but the results would technically include all born from June 1st, 1853 through May 31st, 1854 and realistically include and exclude some whose age wasn't accurately provided, recorded or indexed. Depending upon the index searched, you might not be able to specify gender. On Ancersty.com, for instance, in the index for 1860 you cannot specify gender but in 1870 you can. Other providers of census access may have better or worse search capability of their own indexes. Good luck, I'm afraid you're going to need it. FWIW, Ancestry.com offers 14-day free trials but I'm not certain if that includes census access. It can't hurt to check them out at www.ancestry.com and see what you can get for free.

Hi Bea, Sorry but I don't. The only thing I know is that she was born in "Black Log, Huntingdon" (PA) Jan 1, 1854. I am trying to find a possible family for her....by following any leads I can find on her surname or variations in this area. The article about her twin sister says her sister's given name could have been 'Juniata' or "Susquehanna'. But it is quite possible that the man/family she was given to changed her name. One of these days I hope I can find a free census trial to do a search of the entire US in 1860/1870 for all girls born on Jan 1, 1854 in PA!!!

Hi, I also am interested in the cemeteries in this area so I hope you don't mind me jumping in. Do any of you know if there are any MCGURVEY/MCGURVY/MCGARVEY/MCGARVEY/MCGERVEY/MCGERVY/M'GERVEY/etc. etc. buried in these cemeteries that have been mentioned? Thanks to this list I recently learned that my 'brick wall' ggrandmother was a twin who was born in this area and that her sister was given to a man named John Thompson when the girls were just 3 years old. They apparently never saw each other again because Mr. Thompson went out west somewhere. My ggrandmother, Harriet McGurvey/etc. moved at some point, while still young, to Newport, Perry Co PA. She was born Jan. 1, 1854 and I have nothing on her parents or siblings other than the info on her twin sister.

I guess this says it all for the cemetery searchers: THE CHOSEN We are the chosen. In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family: you would be proud of us." How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do. It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying I can't let this happen. The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that the fathers fought and some died to make and keep us a Nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. It is of equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give us birth, without them we could not exist, and so we love each one, as far back as we can reach. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are they and they are the sum of who we are. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take my place in the long line of family storytellers. That is why I do my family genealogy. and that is what calls those young and old to step up and restore the memory or greet those whom we have never known before. (Author Unknown) Happy 4th !!!!

Good Day, A say or so ago I posted to try to find a copy of the " Lost Cemeteries of Huntingdon County" book.........there was a reply from a KEVIN I believe this is the man's name.

Doris, Good one ! Isn't it funny just what we all will do to find our ancestors ........You know I am the ONLY person in my family that still goes to my Grandparents and yes Great Grandparents graves and puts flowers on their graves. If I buy a small bundle of flowers and, there is another family member buried near by, i'll take one of the flowers from the bundle and, lay it on the other person's grave.

Hi Once Again, Have to add something about this Cemetery..........The Gilliland Cemetery is near Orbisonia...............it is in Cromwell Township......Black Log Valley..............also, so is the Black and Bollinger Cemeteries. Has anyone ever made the trip to the Bollinger Cemetery ? Alot of GREAT memories........after sending the last e-mail I sat here and laughed........what we will not do to find our family members.........Hubby and I decided to take a ride in search of these Cemeteries. We found them...........The hike we took after getting out of the car I will not forget..........so hot and humid that day.........would you believe the Bollinger Cemetery was on TOP of a ridge...........we climed it though.......what a sport hubby is.........just to help me find a few family members that died years and years ago..........once at the top of the ridge........there stood an old cemetery with a fence around it............outside the gate layed ( I did tell hubby just to start digging and throw me in...I couldn't go back down that steep hill ) a shovel.........I wondered why...........we took photo's of the cemetery and, wrote everything down. I told hubby that I was NEVER climbing that ridge again. NOW, I am wondering how the heck they got the caskets/ people up that hill to bury them ??? The old Bollinger homme still stands ...the family who lives there took hubby and I up that ridge. They were really nice people......My Grandmother was a Bollinger. Has anyone else ever had such fun while out researching/searching for their family members? We still laugh to this day..........thanks for asking about the Gilliland Cemetery.......you brought back some good memories and a few laughs! Could use a few laughs !

Hi, The Gilliland Cemetery is located on a farm. It is VERY WELL kept up. There is a house sitting right in front of the cemetery. People live in this house. The Cemetery is fenced in and as I said well maintained. My husband has family members buried there as well " Gilliland " .....We have been to this and, the Bollinger Cemetery. Both are pretty much in the same area. When my husband comes home I will ask for directions....it is very easy to find.

Jamie, I have a copy of George King's Will. (Will Book 3 page 418) Date of Will: August 5, 1833. Letters of Administration granted Oct. 19, 1833. I also have a copy of his land purchase. I have spelled words as they appear from the documents mentioned. The Will does mention George's wife. "Should Mary not want to live in the house with any (underlined) of her children, and was or will be her desire to have a house build on either part of my place. It shall be done at the joint and equal expense of my legal heirs that are in possession of my landit property. " Beloved wife, Mary King and James King were the Executors of the Will. I have not looked at the Estate Records at the Court House for further information. Checking the land Deeds of those who inherited George King's properties may provide a closer date if we see any of the properties were sold. All the children's names are listed. He divided his property, giving six children 45 acres, more or less. Those children were: William King, Charles King, James King, Elizabeth King Newell, Hanah King Swope, Sarrah King More. Four sons: "John King, George King, Patrick King and Hugh King were given $1.00 in hand emedially after his decease as their proper legree by his daughter Hananh Swope. I sent you the photo I had of Patrick King's 7 sons. I know George King's son Hugh King had children who located to that OHIO County. I found that information from reading Hugh King's orphan's Court Documents. Be happy to scan and send anything you'd like to see. If anyone else is researching the King family of Shirley Township, I have a question: James King was the first person buried at Mount Nebo UB Church in 1853. The tombstone states; "James King , Esquire". I do find him listed as a Justice of the Peace on the 1850 Shirley Township census. I don't find him listed in the Huntingdon County Bar. Was he possibly just using the title "Esquire"? and not actually an attorney? I found an announcement of his marriage. I don't believe he had children. Anyone? Does anyone have any information about Newton King? I see him raised in Blair County in the home of George King on the census. He is however the son of Margaret King Miller, born before her marriage. I have confirmed that relationship from OC Documents. I have photos of Newton King. Teresa Shade Anderson
