I was recently in Smethport, PA to look up the Ormsbys from Bradford County. I found their family cemetery plot and a bit of information about William F. Ormsby who settled the town of Ormsby, PA before 1848 and farmed there. He also made a small oil strike on his land. I was only there for one day and spent it at the Historical Society and the cemetery so did not have time to check out records in the court house. If you find anything pertaining to a death certificate for William F. Ormsby (he was born in Vermont) or a land deed, please forward the info to me at
bfriis@comcast.net. My maiden name was Ormsby and William is an ancestor. I know that there were also other ancestors in the area by the surnames of Norcross and Bishop. Thanks.
