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

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
