Dear 4TH COUSIN Kathy!
I didn't even know whether Great-Great-Uncle George's kids had lived to adulthood! How wonderful of you to find me :-)
I would love to hear anything and everything about your side of the family. I believe Uncle George was married to Mary JAMES? Where did his family settle? My side remained around Shamokin, and the third Cornish sibling, Elisha MURTON, settled in Schuylkill Co.
I'm unfamiliar with the John DAWE & Ann (STRIKE) you mention, and would appreciate a note as to your research to that point. If you get a chance to check my other posts, you'll see I have reason to believe that our GGGGrandma Mary Ann (DAWES) MURTON was the daughter of Peter DAWE & Elizabeth "Betsey" (VIGUS). If I'm correct, the Emma VIGUS you found could've been a sister to Betsey, and so would indeed have been Mary Ann's true aunt. How old was Emma in the 1871 census? And with whom was she found in the census of 1861, of 1851, & of 1841?
