While you are looking over your Ringer files, could you check to see if either of you may have a Mahala Tilda Ringer 1843-1888 listed? I have her name and have seen listings that she married Andrew Grant Friend 1838-1912. Others list her as Mahala Browning. It is just one of those genealogy mysteries that I am trying to solve. Many thanks, Pat-T

Pat, I tried the indexes for the books I have, searching Ringer, Friend and Browning, I did not find a Mahala. Sorry. The Ringer family was a large one, there was a large Ringer family in Somerset Co. Pa, with relatives in Preston Co. WV. and Md. R. Miller
