My ancestors from both parents were among the earliest settlers in Butler and Armstrong County, PA. My ggg grandfather, Mathias Cypher (Seyfort), his son in law, gg grandfather Patrick Collins and ggg grandfather John Gallagher on my father's side and gg grandfathers Herman Smith & James Heasley on my mother's side are the anchors to my search. I have entered extensive data into OneGreatFamily.com of my ancestry dating back to the 1600's. Trying to uncover what happened to Patrick Collins, how he died, and where he was born, have been the biggest walls for me. I welcome any and all contact from anyone who has pictures, questions and further insight.
