Dee, I have some information about the murder. There was a story in Rung's Chronicles along with a large picture of the murderers. The boy was Winfield Scott Garner. He was my great-grandmother's brother. This is the family: father-Philip Garner, who died in Salisbury, North Carolina in a prison during the Civil War. mother-Eleanor McCall, daughter of Robert and Martha (Shaw) McCall. and 3 children. 1)Irvin C Garner, 2)Winfield Scott Garner and 3)Annie Barbara Garner. Winfield is buried at the White Church (Jacobs UCC) cemetery in Penn Twp. The tombstone says: Winfield S. son of P & E Garner. murdered with the Peightle family. Nov 16 1869. aged 10 yrs. 1 m. 12 d. In the 1850 census John lived with his brother Isaac. There is also Elizabeth Peightel who is 70 yrs old, who is probably his mother. John's wife Sarahs maiden name was McCall, and she had a brother James who lived in Henderson Twp, Huntingdon Co, I haven't gotten their parents names yet. John & Sarah had at least 3 children, Susanna, Samuel and Henry. There were articles in the Huntingdon Globe at the time of the murder and the trial. You can find the certain years of the Globe online at this address: I http://digitalnewspapers.libraries.psu.edu/Default/welcome.asp?skin=civilwar&QS=skin%3Dcivilwar Hope this helps a little, Betty ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dee Howard" <deeh@pacbell.net> To: "Deb Riley" <dafisher@pennswoods.net> Cc: <Bechtel@rootsweb.com>; <PAHUNTIN@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 1:37 PM Subject: Re: [PAHUNTIN] The Paightel Murders - 1869 > Deb, > > Thanks for your reply.
