Perhaps we need to research land and probate records. If we examine the Gibson name, maybe we can find some clues. Mary had also suggested we might have the wrong first name for McCormick.
For years, our family thought his name was George but could it have been Hugh and not Robert? Would the Pennsylvania Archives have a list of those McCormicks and Gibsons who took the oath of Allegiance? Jean
The only land records for Centre County available at the FHL is the "Index to Register's and Orphan's court docket, 1800-1949." by Centre County (Pennsylvania). Register of Wills.
ReplyDeleteDo any of you have access to the originals? If not, I have hired one of the librarians at Centre County Library's Pennsylvania Room to look up records. She has been very helpful.
