Hogg - McKee Family
footnote 3
The Descendants of Robert Hoge or Hogg of Tuscarora Valley,
Pennsylvania
Including the families of Lytle, McCullough, McKee, Sturgeon, Dunbar, Graham,
Stitt, Harnish, Vance, Robinson, Potts, McBride
I have some letters written by Mrs. Margaret Townsley of Cedarville, Ohio, in
1887. She was gathering material for Egle's "Pennsylvania Genealogies" and I
think that she furnished the information from which this manuscript was prepared
by Dr. Egle. Miss Catherine I. Egle informs me that she cannot find the papers on
the Sturgeon family and thinks they may have been sold. In order to preserve
what information I have on the Sturgeon family I give the following extracts from
the letters of Mrs. Margaret Townsley:
"Letitia McCullough was the only sister of Ann McCullough, wife of Moses
Sturgeon, and their daughter Lettitia Sturgeon was my mother. She first married
John Campbell of Piqua, Miami Co., Ohio in 1821. To them two sons and one
daughter was born. Mr. Campbell died she again married my father John Dalzell,
in 1834 and to them were born two children, myself and a brother who died in
infancy."
"My mothers name was Letitia, by that ever dear and loved name we called
our daughter, Orrel Lettitia. She died at the age of 2 years and 3 months. Of our
four children we have but one living, a son John Dalzell Townsley, now 25 years
of age, residing in Dayton, Montgomery Co., Ohio, there in business but not
married."
The postmaster at Cedarville, Ohio, informed me in 1921 that Mrs. Townsley
died years ago and that he thinks her son John Dalzell Townsley is now living in
Kansas City. I have not been able to get in touch with him.
