Posted on: Venango Co. Pa Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango?read=2016 Surname: O'Hare, Purtill ------------------------- A note from a deceased aunt says that my grandfather, Hugh Augustine O'Hare II was born in "Shamburg, Venango Co. PA" on March 13, 1870. His parents were Hugh Augustine O'Hare and Nancy Ann Purtill. I cannot find the location of Shamburg. Was it known by another name? One brother, William O'Hare, was also born in Shamburg, Venango CO. PA. However later children were born in Titusville. I will greatly appreciate any help in determining where Shamburg was. Thank you.

Just a note to let you know the current hours for research in the PA Room at the Franklin Public Library: Monday, Friday and SATURDAY, 9-5 Tuesday 10-6 If they change again, I will post it here, but hopefully they will not. Sylvia M. Coast, PA Room clerk

RE: Forrest Galloway as a teacher... This is an 'upside-down' message. The beginning is at the bottom-I sent the following in response to the posting about teachers at Swamp School. Thought maybe others might be interested. "Sylvia M. Coast" wrote: I had the opportunity to interview FORREST GALLOWAY in 1996 for the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Irwin Township. He was my teacher at Barkeyville, PA many years ago. He lived in Wesley at the time he was teaching the various schools, including: "I taught a couple or three years, maybe four, in Canal Township, at the Lupher and Swamp Schools." He retired in 1974 from Victory Elementary School, part of Franklin Area School district here in Irwin Township. He is quite frail, he and his wife are living at Grove Manor in Grove City at the present time. Sylvia M.

Where would I find naturalization papers or declaration of intent for William Courtland Fletcher b. 1796 Liverpool, Eng. m. Matilda Delano Adams and came to America in 1833 when their daughter Margaret Ann Fletcher was 6 months old. John Quincy Adams (Matilda's brother) came with them. I found them first in Beaver Twp. where he did not own land there until 1843 but started to buy in borough of Clarion before 1842. When he sold his lots in Clarion he was living in Worth Twp. Mercer Co. PA. I thought maybe the naturalization papers would give me the information I needed to do more research. My grandmother was Margaret Ann Fletcher b. 12 Aug 1832 Liverpool, Eng m. Samuel Henderson 25 Feb 1853 in Franklin, PA. They moved to Rush Co. IN with her parents in 1854 and had 1 daughter Pernitia Menora Henderson. They were married at the Franklin Church. Are there any records of marriage license and what kind of information would they contain for 1853 in Franklin? Samuel Henderson d. in 1956 and then she m. my grandfather Thomas Wilson Munden.

Hello everyone here on the Venango list. I have been sitting back watching before I posted, but haven't seen anything on my family line yet. I am researching my GGgmother, Myrtle Carrie (Scott) who marrie my William Finley Kint. I have looked up on the SSDI that she was born Jan 6, 1902 and died March 1972. The residence is listed as 17222 Fayetteville, Franklin, PA. My question is this, is there someone on this list that would be able to look up her death cert and see if her parents are listed on it? I would be greatly appreciative. I would be glad to pay expenses of a copy if you would even be glad to go to that much trouble for me. Thank you in advance, Janette Harris Maynard
