He had a sister who was also adopted out to a unknown family. His father's name was John Davis. My great grandfather, Edward married Gertrude Trohoski of Ohio. They had one son Norbert Davis, Erie, Pa. Thats where the Davis line of PA ends for me. If anyone know any information about a possible connection to these people that would be a great help.

Crawford Fullarton GLOVER was a brother of my GG grandfather. They were born in Ayrshire, Scotland. Crawford GLOVER had been a sea captain before settling in Pottsville during the 1850s. He married an Elizabeth LENHART. They had at least 2 children Stuart born C1863 and Emly born C 1869. Crawford had a son from a previous marriage in Scotland, Crawford born C 1852. The father Crawford appears to have died in the 1890s. The son Stuart married an Elizabeth REESE but this may have been his second marriage. Stuart and Elizabeth are buried in the Charles Baber Cemetery along with a probable Child Irma. Would anyone know anything about this family? Peter Melbourne Australia

The baptism records from St.Stephen's church in Port Carbon list her maiden name as Trainor on their son Benjamin records but Graham on their son's Abraham's records. I am not sure what her correct maiden name was . I have someone currently looking into the First Presbyterian Church records of Port Carbon (now in the archives at Philadelphia) to see if they have a marriage record that list her maiden name. John Mc Cord was presbyterian ,but his children converted to Stephen's Church after his death. If it shows her maiden name as Trainor (Traynor) I will get back in touch with you. P.S. You mentioned a last name in your family as Dougherty. Saint Stephen's list shows some Dougherty's buried in their cemetery, but you will need to get in touch with St.Stephens to see if they are your Dougherty's.
