In 1795, William Kerr purchased land in Washington County on "Chartie Creek" from Robert and Kezia Miller. A record of this transaction was found among the papers my great great grandfather, S.D.

Miss Maggie Green, of McDonald, is visiting her cousin, Miss Ida Green of Fairviewoe, per The Washington Observer July 9 1894. I need to identify Maggie's father possibly a John Green. Ida is my great aunt. She married a Bedillion and then a Rager. Her father, and Maggie's uncle, was William F. Green, first s/o Margaret McCullough and John Green from Armstrong County. The Greens of McDonald and Washington were oil drillers. I have information to share on the oil drilling industry and Greens in Armstrong County who are related to Samuel Green, surveyor, from northwest New Jersey, ca 1690's to 1776. The Greens were Loyalists and started anew on the Pennsylvania frontier in Fayette and then Armstrong Counties. Related families are Grays and Martins from Venango County, Clogstons and Woods from Marrietta, Ohio.

I am trying to find where my great grandparents first settled when emigrating from England in 1870. I think it may have been Westmoreland County, PA. Their names were William and Emma Lawson. Some or all of their children may have been born in that area. He was a coal miner and may have had a brother Ruben that had emigrated earlier. Their children born 1871- 1882
