    1. [PAMIFFLI] "Old, Rare 1886 Book"
    2. I have noticed for several months throughout 2007 and 2008 queries and responses for look-ups in an "Old, Rare Book of 1886," but I haven't been able to find the title of this book. Is it possible that this book is "History of That Part of the Susquehanna and Juniata Valleys Embraced in the Counties of Mifflin, Juniata, Perry, Union and Snyder in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania," two volumes, published 1886 in Philadelphia by Everts, Peck & Richards? I found that book in Lewiston some years ago, and in it (Vol I, Page 56) there is a David Huddleston who was evicted from "south of the Juniata River" in 1753 because his settlement there encroached upon a treaty with the Tuscarora Indians. I also found (Vol I, page 750) a James Heddleston "New Name for 1772." This James Heddleston was my 3g grandfather. He is said (without proof) to have been born in 1736 in the Kishacoquillas Valley, and there is an Indenture showing that in 1796 he sold his land in Milford Twp, present Juniata County. He was married to Jane Montgomery, who was born 1738 in probably the Tuscarora Valley. Does anybody know these ancestors? Dave Hudelson
