I have a John Miller, s/o Peter Miller, who married my Elizabeth Liller in 1819 Hampshire Co. You didn't give any dates, but could this be your Peter also? Peter Miller is mentioned in 'Allegany Passage' by Emmet Bittinger if you have access to it.

I just noticed that I have a John Cupp, Jr. and a John Culp, Jr. John Culp, Jr., appears in Preson County. I don't show a family for him.

Carol, I am a new member of this list and I am suprised to see my Mooreland name so soon! The Moorelands I am interested in are: Henry Mooreland. b. 1790-1800 m. in Hardy county 1819 Mary (Polly-nickname )Smith b. 1801. I find Polly Mooreland in Hampshire county after Henry's death in the 1850 census. They had lived in Willamsport (South Branch area) prior to Henry's death. Had 12 children; John, William, Henry Hanson m. Lasa Ann Jane (Barnal? Michaels? or McDonald?), Elizabeth, Margarett, to name a few. The two Henrys are my line. Perhaps you have something on Mary (Polly) Smith too... My objective is to get as much info as possible to obtain proof of Henry Mooreland b. 1790-1800 "parents". Perhaps the list could join in with anything they may have, I will deeply appreciate anything .I have found that where they had lived in Patterson Creek, it was close to where four counties ( Hardy, Grant, Mineral, and Hampshire) all connect.
