His sister Katherine (Kitt) died many years before him in the 1940's or 1950's. His sister Harriett (Hattie) died after Kitt but before George. Both lived in the Salamanca, N.Y. area and are buried there. At the time of his death his only surviving relatives were his wife Emma and his daughter Doris who was to his first marriage to Bessie Hall. He also had some nieces and nephews in the Salamanca, N.Y. area at the time of his death.George was my uncle (married to my Aunt Emma Fye Taylor) and I knew him very well.

Surnames: SIMCOX ADAMS MCMULLEN MCMULLIN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0dB.2ACI/677.673.767.1.1 Message Board Post: Sounds feasible. The only thing I know is that Margaret Simcox was born about 1834 (plus or minus a year or two), daughter of John SIMCOX and Lydia ADAMS. A published biography on Margaret's brother, Shadrach, names his "sister Margaret who married G. McMULLIN". That is all I have to go on. I found Galbraith in the 1850 census, but is wife is Sarah J. then. Can you give me the details of how you have Galbraith married to a Margaret? In what census have you found him with a wife Margaret. Perhaps Margaret was his second wife. Tell me what more you know and maybe we can put this together. Thanks.

Sorry for the multiple list posting, but want everyone to be aware that this rare book is being reproduced on a limited edition basis. It was originally produced by the Oilmen's Association for their Reunion in 1907. It is full of great ads and articles. They were written during the time period when the people who were involved in the oil industry in Western PA were still around. A short story of The United State Well that originated Pithole and the story of 'Spotty" McBride are just a couple of things included in this book.
