Joseph
Arbuckle, d. 1808 of Mifflin Twp. (?), Allegheny Co., PA and
Wife, Sarah Arbuckle
Arbuckle, Joseph d. 1808
of Mifflin Twp (?), Allegheny Co. PA. Will registered in
Allegheny Will Book I, wife Sarah and several
children. I have not found one reference to Joseph, leading me
to believe he and his brrod may have been living with family
members. He was previously listed as an early settler of
Beaver Co., but again no mention other than that. If anyone
has seen any transactions of Joseph Arbuckle between 1796 and
1808, please pass them on. Also am interested in any other Arbuckle in
PA.
Thank you.

Joseph
Anderson Burns and Geraldine Lorinna Sewell
Most of my fathers
family is steeped in the history of Pittsburgh.
My Father,
Joseph Anderson Burns, married my mother,
Geraldine Lorinna Sewell, in 1943
My Grand
Father, Joseph Anthony Burns, married my
Grand Mother, Myral Anderson.
My Great
Grand Father, John Burns, married my
Great Grand Mother, "Mary" (I think),
Miller
Now, my GG father, John Burns had 2
brothers. They all worked on the railroad. Their
names were Joseph and Anthony Burns.
My
GG father, John Burns, lived in Allison
Park, with his wife and 10 children, until Thanksgiving of
1901. He was working as a conductor and slipped under
the wheels and died. Of the 10 children, 2 were boys,
the older boy left and the 13 year old, my Grandfather,
remained to leave school and support his 8 sisters and his
mother. My Great Grandmother Miller, was the Niece of
Thomas Noble Miller, who had been an early
partner, and life long friend of Andrew Carnegie. Thomas
Miller helped my widowed GGrandmother by buying her house and
letting the family live there. In addition, my
GGGrandmother, was a "Clark". Oral history says that she
is directly descended from the New Jersey attorney,
Abraham Clark, who, was one of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence.
I would love to hear
from anyone, who has any connection to any of these people, or
this history.
Thanks so
much,

Robert Graham, b. 8 Sep 1807 and Ann S.
Unknown b. abt. 1810
Robert and Ann are my 2 Great Grandparents. According to census
reports, they were both born in Pennsylvania. I am trying
to find who their parents were. They had at least 5 children,
Eleanor M. b. 1836,
Elizabeth, b. abt. 1837, John, b.
abt. 1839. Margaret J. b. Aug 1842,
and James P. b. 1844. Eleanor was most likely
born in Pennsylvania, but the rest of the children were born
in Summit Co., Ohio. By 1840 the family was living in Bath
township, Summit Co., Ohio (census spelled their name
Garaham
) and in 1850 they were living in Northfield Township,
Summit Co., Ohio (census spelled their name
Grayham or Gragham). By 1860
Robert is living in Warren Co., Iowa with 3 of his children,
Eleanor (Ellen), Margaret, and James. I have found no trace of
Ann, Elizabeth or John after the 1850 census. Robert died
in 1875 and is buried in the IOOF cemetery in Indianola,
Warren Co., Iowa. The census indicates that Robert's parents
were both foreign born. Ann's last name may have been
Pollock, since one of her grandson's middle
name is Pollock.

Elizabeth M McKenna born July 7, 1893 and
Danial McKenna born June 1862
I am looking for
any information on my great-grandparents and their families.
My great-grandma was Elizabeth M McKennna,
she was born July 7 1893 in Pennsylvania and lived in North
Braddock, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, she died Apr. 6 1979
in Ramsey County, Minnesota. Her father may have been
Danial McKenna, born June 1862 in Ireland,
and arrived in the US in 1870. Her mother may have been
Hanna McGarvey, born Nov. 1866 in Scotland
(her parents where from Ireland), and arrived in the US in
1881. My great-grandpa was William Gilmour,
born abt. 1893 in Pennsylvania. His father may have been born
in Scotland, and his mother may have been born in Northern
Ireland. My grandma was Elizabeth Marie
Gilmour, born Apr. 11 1919 in North Braddock,
Alleghney County, Pennsylvania, she died Nov. 18 2002 in St.
Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. She was married to
Ralph Gerald Saunby. Her brothers were

Joseph Neely born 1790 and Martha Bell
Kenly
My great grandfather was Joseph
Neely, b. 1790 and was married to a Martha
Bell Kenly. They had 10 children. Joseph stayed
behind to live in Pa. when the rest of his family moved to
Ohio. I am trying to find out who the names of his parents
were. Joseph served with the 1st United States Inf. in the War
of 1812. He was captured by Indians and escaped to join Capt.
John Green's company of the 3d U. S. Inf. Joseph died in 1867
and his wife in 1861 both in Venango Co., Pa. Any help will be
greatly appreciated.

Robert Patterson born 1763 in Ireland and
Isabella Brisbin (Brisbane) Patterson born 1768 in
PA
I would like to find the location of
Robert and Isabella Brisbin (Brisbane)
Patterson's burial site. They lived in Mifflin
Township, Allegheny County, PA. Robert died 14 Aug. 1833
and Isabella died 3 Dec. 1832. Robert was born in 1763
in Ireland, and Isabella was born in 1768 in PA. Also, I
understand these dates came from a Patterson family
Bible. If that Bible still exists I would love
to have a copy of the birth, marriage, and death pages.
Robert and Isabella were my 4th great-grandparents. I am
descended from their son, Samuel who moved to
Ohio. Thank
you

Thomas N. Smith and Mary L. Smith
Thomas N & Mary L Smith are my
paternal great grandparents. Census records for 1900,
1910, & 1920 record their presence in Allegheny County,
PA. Marriage in 1893 and both born in 1874 in PA. 1930
census records them in Albuquerque NM (my birth place).
Not sure what happened between TN and Mary (one of those
histories no one who had knowledge wanted to talk about
it!). Mary died in ABQ in 1957.
I have no
family history on TN or Mary. Children were
Charles, Louisa, Margaret, Edna (my
grandmother) and Alice
. I
think the 3 eldest children were suffering from TB (the reason
for the family move to NM?). Edna died in ABQ in 1990
and Alice in El Paso TX 1995.
I would like
to know who TN & Mary were – parents, siblings – census
indicates TN’s parents born in England, Mary’s born in
PA. Have been able to find info on other branches of the
family but this one stalled very quickly. Any help,
direction, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
