I need some help - I recently found a 1860 census showing Samuel D.
Morton and his wife Temperance living in Bradford County in 1860 with
their two daughters and another elderly Thompson there also. I know
that Samuel was a civil war vet from his cemetary records in David
Curtis Cemetary in Columbus, Pa.. I am assuming that Samuel joined
whatever unit he was in while they were living in Bradford County.-
since they were living there in Smithfield in 1860. Can anyone help me
with this at all or have any ideas. Samuel and Temperance were my
Great, Great Grandparents. I would love to find out more about them.
Thank You.

Leon Ray FICE and M. Josephine (FARRELL) Fice (married) last lived
in Athens, PA. The family story said 2 brothers named VON FEUCHT came
from Germany: one died leaving no children. All Fices are said to be
decendants of the other brother. Do you have a marriage date for Leon
Ray Fice and M. Josephine Farrell? I may be wrong about her first
initial. She always called herself JO. Do you have any information on
the Von Feucht brothers?
Thank you, Nancy Fice nfice@comcast.com

Joyce,
Hello. I grew uip in Bradford
County. I now live in Meadville, PA (Crawford County, PA) with my
husband of 24 years.
I'd like to trace my father's
family.
Below I have pasted what history I have of my father's family.
However, I cannot find Potter Smith in any of the records for Bradford
County. I know my grandfather (Fred Lafoy Smith listed below as
born
in 1882) owned and opeated a farm in what I believe is West burlington
(South of Brown's Pond). The house burnt to the ground on
Thanksgiving
day when my father (Robert Lafoy Smith) was just a boy. Some
records
for my day list his name backards (Lafoy Robert Smith) because his
family always called him Lafoy, and he thought that was his first
name.
It is rumored that Potter's last name
was changed from Yanello to Smith due to discriminations against
Italians at that time and due to a discrace of some kind within
the
family. I have no information about what Potter's first name
was prior
to the last name change, nor when he was born.
Can you help me? And if you can
--
what would you charge me to look up this stuff for me? I'b be
happy to
pay for it -- if I could find someone who could do it and provide me
the information.
Thank you.

Researching the following individual Solomon Leonard HARRINGTON. The
Harrington Gazetteer and the Rock County, WI Gazetteer note him as born
17 December 1808 in Troy, PA. I cannot find any reference to parents
except that one of the references makes note that his father died when
he was a small boy and his mother married an Ayres. Is there anyplace
that might have any information on his parents? Been stuck here for
three years. Thanks for any assistance.
