    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: ebrenne Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.schuylkill/11829.5/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Marie, Wiggan's Patch would now be what's called Boston Run, but there is so much more to this little patch town that you need to know about. It was the site of a series of grizzly murders in the winter of 1875. The murders were associated with the Molly Maguires and the house where the murders were committed was still standing until a few years ago. It's widely considered one of the most haunted locations in Schuylkill County. http://www.tnonline.com/node/42115 Erin Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
