The line the family connects to is: Andrew Morehead, Sr. b. 1768 - Ireleand Andrew Morehead, Jr. b. 1803 - Virginia Josiah Morehead b. 1828 - Stark Co., Ohio James Crawford Morehead b. 1861 - Ohio Charles Dwight Morehead b. 1882 - Minerva, Stark Co., Ohio James Carnes Morehead b. 1922 - Ligonier, Westmoreland, PA Robert James Morehead b. 1949 - McAllen, Hidalgo Co., TX It's my understanding that Charles Dwight Morehead was married and had a daughter, named Grace. Something happened and this mystery, we don't know, where Charles left Ohio due to a warrant being out for his arrest. He went to Pennsylvania and met his 2nd wife where he was married in Westmoreland Co. As a family, they moved around to several different states as Charles worked with the railroad as a telegraph operator. The family finally settled in Pharr, Hidalgo Co., TX., where Charles died in 1962. He never returned to Ohio or to ever see his Morehead family, as well as his daughter again. Maybe some other Morehead descendants of this family might know the whole story and can fill in some of the blanks for us.

Hi All Thanks for the details about the Washington County Newspapers. I have another question I hope someone can answer. A deed abstract reads the following; "Alex Fowler of Pittsburgh to Geo Fowler of Wash Co., Pa. 250a. on Shirties. Nov 18, 1784." Can someone tell me the location of Shirties ? Thanks Barb in Oregon

I've been able to locate some census information so far but nothing related to their immigration. I expect it has to do with differences in spelling. Any information about either of these families would be appreciated. Mary Stankovich, Birth 28 March 1891 in Vilno, Poland, Death 23 Nov 1975 in California,Pennsylvania. Anthony Volkavich, Birth May 29, 1890 in Poland, Death around 1922 in California PA. As far as I know, Tony died in a mining accident. Mary then married Pete Adamovich, also from Poland. Together they raised the five children Mary and Tony had: Ann Delores Volkavich Remy (Nunnie), Frances Marie Volkavich Remy (Fran), Edwin Anthony Volkavich (Edgie), Lottie Volkavich Lancas, Stanley Robert Volkavich (Stuchie). I know there were other Stankovichs in California, but I haven't been able to figure out how or if we are related. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

someone was asking about a Mary Stankowicz from Wilna....ran across this on the Ellis Island site – not my people but thought this might help. Good luck Saw a Stanlislawa Stankowicz arriving with husband Pavel into NY on Nov 14, 1912 to go to Pavel's brother in Philadelphia. They sailed from Bremen Germany but are listed as being Polish from Wilna Russia. This was on the Ellis Island site...ship was SS Barbarossa. Good luck Barbara

I just thought you might make a connection. I found the obit. in my family "stuff" probably because T. Thompson was the father of Mary or Aunt Mame Camp. The Camps are my family. In the 1880 census (I found on RLDS website) Joseph Camp (age 39 and my gg uncle) and his wife Mary Thompson Camp (30) had two children listed living with them. B. Thompson age 9 and C. Thompson age 4. When you mentioned the two children, George, and my Thompson connection, thought I would just send a note and you would know by dates, ages, etc., whether there might be a connection.
