Posted on: Venango Co. Pa Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Pa/Venango/2579 Surname: Downing ------------------------- I'm looking for information on some Venango County Downings. I am descended from John Downing (born abt. 1859). According to the 1870 census, his parents were W. and Mary Downing. Brothers & sisters are Ann (born 1857) and Charlie (born 1862). Do these connect to the James and William Downings I have seen on this board?
