Blood relatives Exparte Paterna Mrs Maria King (widow) 140 South Queen Street, Lancaster, Pa who is a granddaughter of Rachel McLaughlin dec'd who was the wife of William Colvin dec'd. The said Rachel McLaughlin dec'd was the great aunt of the decedent William McLaughlin who was the 2nd cousin of Maria King I am not informed nor can I learn of any other relations of the decedent exparte Paterna ---------------------- My interest in William McLaughlin was John Spence who is in his household listed as a nephew in 1880, I wanted to know how William & John were related, since John's sister Margaret (Spence) Dorsey is my ancestor. Obviously not through Williams family by the above list. He must be related through Williams first wife Mary S. who died in 1879. John Spence was a son of Jesse and Rebecca Spence of Martic township. I haven't figured out Rebecca's maiden name yet. Making it a little figuring out the relationship between them.
