Died at four months
Looking for Charles & Polly - when they bought the farm in 1894 from James Moyer they were living in Coxton, Lackawanna Co. Grover C. Cleveland Wilsey b 12/13/1892 to Charles & Polly came from Agnes Weiss that she said she got from a bible that Aunt Mabel Cook Wilsey had. In 1870 our John Wilsey, according to a newspaper article about a fight near his home, lived in Keelersburg which I think was Northmoreland Twp. It is across the river from Falls but you get there by turning at Eatonville. He didn't move to Falls till 1873. Coincidence that the other John lived there much earlier?
