I have a short list of possible questions for researching in the Jefferson County Historical Society research center - but don't know when I'd be down there. Some of the notes in folders might have a smidge of a clue... But maybe not. It's as if she married and went west out of her family's lives permanently. Very frustrating. <br />I'll cross my fingers and toes, and perhaps you might find 'something'!! Thanks for checking my post, Marge. I appreciate your interest, very much.

I worked at the Jefferson County Historical Society research center for about 20 years, lately as a volunteer for the Jefferson county Genealogical society. I am writing a book about JC Women the first 100 years and have been disappointed that I have not been able to find much about Sophia Roland Pettygrove. I have searched our records and you are right, it is mostly about F.W. If I come across anything I will let you know.

Who knows, perhaps we are distant cousins! ;)Heather Kuhn Roelkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247311735034470203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022882827649802537.post-32708824530465563502013-01-15T10:34:35.810-08:002013-01-15T10:34:35.810-08:00Thanks for your comments, Heather. I agree - I...Thanks for your comments, Heather. I agree - I'd be trying to make my own mark somehow! So far no records have shown up for my Sophia Roland/Ruland in Maine or New York... and of course, maybe she was an orphan or her parents died soon after she married - who knows! <br />And my eyes are caught by your KUHN in your name... my mother was a Kuhn, whom I've followed up to the Conewago, Adams,Pennsylvania area - John Kuhn & wife Anna Barbara (?Adams?) and 4 children who came in about 1732 or thereabouts - Henry, John George, Eva Mary, and Joseph. Such common names of course, particularly with KUHN, a most common Germanic surname.

I'm so glad that I was born in this day and age because I doubt that I could successfully play second fiddle to my husband. ;) Good luck!Heather Kuhn Roelkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247311735034470203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1022882827649802537.post-76323646122082610142012-12-16T10:25:17.240-08:002012-12-16T10:25:17.240-08:00I'm hoping a greatgrandchild has little bits o...I'm hoping a greatgrandchild has little bits of information stuck away in a box and will one day open it, find something about this Sophia, and google her - and find me!!
