Classification: Query
Carolyn...Sken:noh!...I am a Seneca but am looking for confirmation about the following people within my family whom we strongly suspect as of Native ancestry. Barnet Taylor;B: 1785 in Mercer County, Pennnsylvania, close to the town of Shenango, Pennsylvania m Rebbeca, no last name, b:1789. David Davis b: 1793, Fayette County, Penn. Is the surname of Feather also Haudenosaunee by chance, as we do have a Martha or Mary Feather who married David Taylor and she too was from Mercer County, Penn; Sandy Creek to be exact, again very close to the town Shenango(why does that town name ring a bell?) William Hill b: Tompkins County, NY, father of Lavinia M Hill, who married Burton F. Kellogg and she was born in 1804, but we have no birthdate for him, nor do we have a a birthplace. He married Eliza Sackett, born in Stephentown, NY, no birthdate or deathdate...We have a Uriah Hill who married a Mary Root...is that a Native surname? in fact all of these are deadends in my family, but all, with the exception of Uri Hill and Mary Root, who were from Litchfield, Conn., were born in the area of where the Seneca/Mingo were living, i.e. near the border of Ohio/W. Virginia, as well as the Lenni Lenape... i look forward to hearing any insights, or info you may be able to provide...nia:wen...Tim(bf of Teresa McCall
