FOUST / FAUST / ENGLE / BURKET / GLASSNER I am searching for Mary FOUST / FAUST who was near 17 years of age at the time of the court orders shown here. If anyone has included this child in their family as step-child or other title or if she married soon after 1792 and there is a record of the marriage, then please let me know. Also, anyone with knowledge of meaning of 'late guardian' as it applies to Michael INGLE please explain to me. I have found that all of the names in these references are quite different from those used at your Reformed Church. I elected not to change the court record.

Looking for any information on the McCAULEY family of Woodbury Twp. Bedford Co., PA. John McCauley is shown as 12yrs old living with the John STUCKY family in the 1870 census. A Sarah McCauley 15 is living with the BRUMBAUGH family. I believe that they are orphans of George and Catherine McCauley. I believe an uncle, John T. McCauley, also living in Woodbury, was an uncle. John T. children were Lorenzo, Margaret, Benjamin and William. Margaret McCauley married J. P. ALWAINE in Blair Co., PA in 1893. Any information on any of these families will be appreciated.
