In Reply to: PA and WV by Tracy Profita of 826
Tracy,
I am also descended from Jacob (b1810 Westmoreland County, Pa--
my GGG Grandfather) and Mary (b.about 1812) Buzzard.
My line goes thru their child Samuel (b.1835) and Mary Buzzard.
Next is their son Jeremiah (b.1860) and Chritina Ferguson Buzzard.
Next is James Ferguson and Margaret Abercrombie Buzzard.
next is Frank Alexander (my father b.4 Jan 1926) and Sarah Elizabeth Greenaway Buzzard (b.8 Mar 1929).
Then me born 8 Aug 1947 in Wilkinsburg, Pa.
We have shared emails before, but your old email address doesn't work anymore. Hope you are well.
Janet Ochs is also descended from Jacob and Mary thru their first son Jeremiah.
