Hello, Sorry I missed you posting by several months. Just wanted you to know that I am related to Harvey Cruikshank and Ella Ekas, they were my great grandparents. Mary Ellen was the daughter of Thomas and Mary Byerly Ekas. I am also related to Samantha Cruikshank, who was married to Henry Ekis. I used to live near the Negley House, which is still standing. If I can help in any way, please feel free to contact me. Marsha
