PLEASE READ: Where to Post

I'm trying to organize things a bit so I've made threads in the Discussion Forum for each county. If you know where the people you are researching lived, please post your queries, information, etc. in the appropriate thread/county. If you don't know where in Western PA the people you are researching lived or if they lived in multiple counties, go ahead and post to the Comment Wall below. Also, if you feel your post is urgent or you want it to be viewed by the whole group, post to the Comment Wall. As always, everyone is also still welcome to start their own discussion threads.

Since Genealogy Wise doesn't allow the option of displaying ALL Discussion Forum threads, some won't appear below. If you don't see the county or discussion that you are looking for below, click on "View All" in the bottom right of the Discussion Forum and you should be able to find it there. Thanks!

My maternal ancestors all settled in Westmoreland Co. I have most of the history on my Erdman/Ardman/Artman line but have hit a brick wall with my Dunlap line. I know that my gggrandfather, Robert Dunlap came from Ireland but do not where in Ireland nor his birth date. Also have not been able to pinpoint when he arrived in Pa. I do know that my great grandmother, Elizabeth, was born in 1826. Robert died in 1841. If there is anyone researching Dunlaps I would appreciate hearing from you.

Fayette Co., PA - I am looking for the parents of Thomas Hatfield. Thomas was born about 1800 in Fayette Co. He married about 1825 Elizabeth (her last maiden name maybe Henry) and in 1830 they are in Menallen Twp, Fayette Co. By 1835 they are in Clinton Co., Iowa. They have the following children Mary Jane, William G., Sarah F., Elizabeth, and Thomas Alfred. Elizabeth died 28 Dec 1870 I believe in Clinton County, Iowa. About 1871 Thomas married a second time to Sarah Margaret Hall and had one more son Christopher. Thomas died 29 Nov 1875 also in Clinton Co., Iowa. I would love to connect with anyone researching this family. Sue

Hi everyone,
Have hit a brick wall with my 2nd gr grandfather, Charles F. Terry, b in NY approx 1820, married Margaret Jane Fullerton, from Cambridge Springs, Crawford County, Pa. They lived in Franklinville, Cattaraugus County, NY, with 3 of their children, Thomas, Charles and Margaret according to 1850 census. By 1853, according to tax records, they had moved to Cambridge Springs, Pa, where they stayed until their death. They had three more children: Mary, George and Herbert.

Children of Charles and Margaret Jane (known as Jane) and their b. and d. dates are as follows:
Thomas J. Terry b. 1842 in Pa; d. 1879 in Cambridge Springs, Pa;
married Elizabeth J. Curtis, b. 1845 in Pa, d. 29 May 1908 Cambridge Springs, Pa.
2nd child of Charles F. and Margaret Jane Terry: Charles W. Terry (my 1st great grandfather). Charles b. about 1848 in NY, d. 19 Oct 1888 in Buffalo, NY. Married Harriet Rodgers, b. 21 Mar 1853, Hayfield Twp, Crawford County, Pa.; d. 27 Feb. 1924, Meadville, Pa. Children of Charles and Harriet: Richard Abner Terry (my grandfather) and Donna E. Terry.
3rd child of Charles F. and Margaret Jane Terry: Margaret E. Terry, b. 13 Sep 1849 in NY; d. 7 Jun 1919, Meadville, Pa; married Vincent F. Maxwell, b. 1844 in Pa.; d.4 May 1921. Spent most of their married life in Clymer, Chautauqua County, NY.
4th child of Charles F. and Margaret Jane Terry: Mary M. Terry, b. 30 May 1853; d. b/n 1900 & 1910 in Jamestown, NY; married Abner Smiley, b. 1848, Busti, NY, d. 28 Jul 1940, Jamestown, NY.
5th child of Charles F. and Margaret Jane Terry: George W. Terry, b. 24 Jul 1855, Pa; d. 30 Oct 1930, Clymer, NY; married Phoebe Rebecca Card, b. 17 May 1854, Harmony, NY; d. 10 May 1910, Clymer, NY.
6th child of Charles F. and Margaret Jane Terry: Herbert Terry, b. 1860, Pa. d. b/n 1860 and 1870.
Question: Does anyone know the parents of Charles F. (possibly Frank) Terry who was born in NY (abt 1820) and died in Cambridge Springs, Pa., 11 Mar 1884?
Thanks a lot,
Kathleen
