Hi Kay. Thanks for the message. I am a member on ancestry so I'll look it up there later. I'm not sure I am related to John but am working on all Utt/Ott people I know of and trace them back to their original immigrant. I did have William and Sarah Hamilton Utt as a possibility of being his parents but haven't found a hard link either as of yet. I'll keep looking, especially since that is a family "myth". If I can ever find the proof then I'll have to work on William as I have not found proof of his parentage either. There are a couple of possibilities but dates just don't be matching for me. It's a never ending quest. I actually descend from a Henry (Henrich) Utt who was born about 1720 in Germany and died in Pennsylvania in about 1792.

Didn't find Peyton any place on any of my trees. I have Mollohans in my Mother's family both sides and one single Mollohan in my Dad's tree. Do you belong to any of the MyFamily sites (they're free)?

Hi Kay - Any relation to Nichols in Ogdensburg Tioga Co PA? One of their kids, Rebecca married Levi Avery who would be my great uncle. I have a bunch of tombstone pictures.
