Hi John-Mark, I don't relate to the Butterbaugh family but something you wrote greatly interests me and I would appreciate any information you may be able to share with me. I have recently found that my Bleakneys, Pattons, and possibly McMannus families were in the "Mahoning Township(s) area before the northern part of Indiana County was divided into four parts. This would be from about 1807-1840. I need some direction in finding the specific records for these families as to churches attended, cemeteries, newspapers available. They were probably Presbyterian, but don't know for sure. Any ideas you may have, or sources you may have located, would be most welcome. Thank you for your time. Susan E.

Gary, My St. Clair's were from West Wheatfield township, Indiana county, Pa. My Samuel's parents were Hugh Sinclair/St.Clair and Rebecca Beatty, they came over here about 1802 from either Scotland or Ireland, Hugh went to New York first then onto PA. I don't see any of those St. Clairs in my tree, but like you said there could be a connection somewhere. My Samuel married Catherine Jamison. jamie

Only thing I have is he married Catherine Miller and had a son Alexander b. 1844.

Jamie, I haven't found many people who go back to the St. Clairs. Although I didn't find your Samuel St. Clair (d. 1849) in my file, it doesn't mean that our St. Clairs aren't related. My file on the St. Clairs is not complete. My St. Clairs first appear at my 4th great grandmother, Elizabeth St. Clair (1770-1840), who was born in York Co., PA. Her parents are James St. Clair (1741-1806) and Sarah Miller. James St. Clair was born in York Co., PA. The St. Clair family was founded during the middle ages by Sir Walderne de St. Clair a Norman Knight. This St. Clair family is originally from Scotland, and this branch is Scotch-Irish. The children of James St. Clair and Sarah Miller are: Isabella Jane Margaret Mary Rebecca Samuel Elizebeth, m. William Stewart James, Jr., m. Jennie Slemmons Maybe the Samuel listed here is your Samuel St. Clair (d. 1849)? Do you have more information on your Samuel St. Clair? talk later, -Gary T. Gibson

Mr. ANDERSON was a brother of Daniel ANDERSON of Armstrong township and had many other relatives in this county. Samuel GRIFFITH died at his home in Center township, on Friday, September 1, 1899, aged 79 years. He had suffered for many years from cancer, but the cause of death was the infirmities of old age. Matthew Wilson HAMILL died at the home of his father, William T. HAMILL, in White township, on Saturday, September 2, 1899, of typhoid fever, aged 23 years. He had been a student at Westminster College, and had he lived would have entered the junior class this fall. He was preparing himself for the legal profession. He was a member of the Second U.P. church, of Indiana, and was a most excellent young man, and had the esteem of a very large circle of friends and acquaintances. The funeral took place on Tuesday at nine o'clock, Rev. Welch officiating. Interment at Greenwood. John C. MCMILLEN, postmaster at Homer City, died on Friday last of consumption, aged about 55 years. He is survived by one son and one daughter, his wife having died about one year ago. Mr. MCMILLEN was a miller by trade and held positions in several portions of the county. He was an honest, upright citizen and had the confidence and esteem of all who knew him. MISCELLANEOUS On Sunday last a son of Frank FOWLER, of White township, was bitten by a copperhead. The parents gave the boy all the whiskey they had in the house, bound a freshly-killed chicken on the wound and sent for Dr. Dickie, of Homer City. The boy will recover. Miss Mary GRAHAM, daughter of the Rev. H. Q. GRAHAM, South Fifth street, is in the Homeopathic Hospital, Pittsburg, suffering from an attack of typhoid fever. Her condition is serious but there are great hopes of recovery. On Saturday her sister, Miss Jennie, left here and will assist in the nursing of the patient. Mrs. W. E. STEWART and family, of Harrisburg, who have been visiting at the home of her mother, Mrs. C. PETERSON, of the Second ward, left on Saturday morning for their home, after a very pleasant visit of eight weeks. V. E. GRIFFITH, who has been making his home at Cascade, Iowa, returned on Saturday to his old home at Cookport. He may return west in the spring. Miss Lottie OVERDORFF, daughter of G. W. OVERDORFF, of Brushvalley, is recovering from a severe attack of typhoid fever. Hon. Danie RAMEY and wife of Washington, D.C., are here visiting their son, Grant RAMEY. James F. DOVEY, who mysteriously disappeared from his home in Blairsville several weeks ago, has been located. A couple of days ago he walked into the home of his mother at Merriden, Conn. He was travel stained and foot-sore and could give no account of his wanderings since he left Blairsville. He was put to bed and his mother writes he will be well in a week or two. It is pretty evident that when he left Blairsville he became demented and has been tramping over the country ever since.

If anyone has information regarding John Sutor & Wife Ann Moore who came from Scotland to PA circa 1800, their son Alexander and his siblings.

John Thomas had a son, John Marcellus Sutor, my great grandfather.

As a matter of fact, your very well documented online tree and some census data posted by "Doug" for me, I was able to link Jeanetta through her parents to the main branch of our tree, and connect the dots between the two Buterbaugh men I knew to have married Gilhousen women. I greatly appreciate that help, and your taking the trouble to post the obituary for me. As it happens, now that I have the lineages for these Gilhousen-Buterbaughs, I have turned my attention to descendancy, and the obit is the first indication I have of progeny from the Lawrence & Mona (Gilhousen) Buterbaugh union. Thanks again for the help. Since the Gilhousen-Buterbaugh family trees intersect at these two points, if you don't mind, I will contact you privately regarding our Gilhousen Family Association projects. John-Mark +

I was hoping for a little closer connection because it does make so much more interesting a story, but I am happy to settle for the facts of the matter. My insatiable curiosity causes me to hope for eventually finding more about how these two families related socially, etc., but at least, for know, I've closed the gaps, and corrected some data that seems to have originated in faulty LDS records.
