Guffy, Armstrong, Scott, Jones (PA)
My connection to the Guffy genealogy is marriage of Margaret Elizabeth (nee Scott) Guffy, wife of Alexander Guffy. He was born in Scotland came to USA in 1770 settled in Northumberland County, PA. at McEwensville. Her sister, Rebecca (nee Scott) married Peter Jones who was my ancestor In "History of Northumberland County", PA 1911 Heritage Collection by J.L. Floyd (name indexed) is the Genealogical and Biographical Annals of Northumberland County,PA (reproduction in 1995)..original published in 1911 by J.L. Floyd & Company.Pages 314, 315 and 316 contain lengthly Guffy genealolgy. Also geneo Armstrong, Scott, Jones,and Pollock (Armstrong married a Pollock who became governor of PA)
Alex Guffy and wife settled in area which became Lycoming County, PA..area is located somewhat north of Williamsport,PA where a Fort was located. The cemetery for those Colonial settlers is maintained by the government. Numerous Guffys and Armstrongs are listed as burials at the cemetery.
My ancestors, Peter and Rebecca (nee Scott) went from Philadelphia area eventually to border of Clinton and Clinton County at Marsh Creek. Then would leave there to Jefferson County, PA then to Clarion County, PA where they lived the rest of their lives.
I'm searching for information about James Boon who married Elizabeth (nee Scott) the sister of Rebecca (nee Scott) Jones and Margaret (nee Scott)Guffy. He is mentioned in the same book on page 315.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated
