I am interested in finding the parents of Esther Sowash. I do not know a whole lot about her. Esther married John McCormick of Wesmtoreland Co Pa.
From an early book on Pioneers of Westmoreland Co,: Esther Sowash, whose ancestors had early settled in Virginia and were of Huguenot extraction. Their children were:
1. William, died in infancy.
2. Eli, born May 14, 1820, and a school teacher from 1843-1854; now magistrate and notary public.
3. John Calvin
4.Sarah, died young.
5. George
6. Dr. James Irwin
7. Silas, attorney-at-law
8. Samuel
9. Mary Elizabeth, died in infancy
10. Albert, died young.
11. Rachel, married John George
12. Henry H., lawyer in Pittsburgh, Speaker of the House of Representatives in State Legislature in 1874, and six years United States District Attorney for Western District Pennsylvania.
13. Horace Greeley
Any assistance is most welcome.
