Query: Looking for any info on William WALKER who was married to Rebecca HINTON around 185o. Their only child, Lucian Walker, was born in 1852 in Pine Glen.

According to the Commorative Biographical record William, of English descent, "was killed while a soldier in the Federal army". There were about 90 William Walkers from Pa. in Civil War and all dead ends so far. Also interested in any family info on my grandmother's family - William F PETERS - also born around 1852 and living in Milesburg at 1890 census.

His mother Effie SNYDER was supposedly from Centre Hall, Centre County. Neither Henry BURNELL nor Effie SNYDER appear in either 1880 or 1900 census! I am pursuing a clue that possibly my grandfather's middle name has some connection. He was Roy Wheeler Burnell. Does anyone see a SNYDER married to a WHEELER in mid-1800s?

Query: McCURDY: Seeking information on a certain John McCURDY (originally from Westmoreland County, PA) who apparently died in Bellefonte, Centre County, around 1893. I do not live in Pennsylvania, so any local sources are beyond my access. Reviewing the web site, it seems clear that there may be an obituary, probate record, death record, or other such record available. I also saw a book called "John S. McCurdy Descendants" and wonder if this is the same person. Any and all leads will be appreciated. Thank you very much. Michael S. Caldwell 39-79 47th Street #2 Sunnyside, NY 11104-1419 msc@juno.com
