Genealogy of the Woodcock Valley

I have been reseaching the Harker/Beaver ancesters of my husband for many years. Catherine Beaver, daughter of Anthony Beaver and Susanna Clapper, who married Jacob Harker, Nov.8, 1810 ,in Marklesburg, Huntingdon Co. PA. One of their sons, David Beaver Harker married Jane Norris in Huntingdon Co.. I am trying to find her father. She was born Dec.1, 1816 and died May 30, 1870 and is buried in Farnham Cemetery in St Joseph Twp. in Williams Co. Ohio.

My wife is the great granddaughter of Davis G. Enyeart and have become interested in this area through research of her family tree.

I was born and raised in Penn Twp; just recently became interested in genealogy; I     spend much time in Huntingdon County Courthouse and Juniata College Library  where I find many answers to family births, marriages, and death dates.

 My research currently is on my grandmother, Bessie (Grove) McCall's two sisters, Laura (Grove) Smith and Mary( Grove) Smith,  who lived in Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co.  They were born here in Penn Twp , Huntingdon County; married two Smith brothers,  Samuel and Jacob  from Centre County.  The husbands had a thriving Smith Brothers Bakery in Pittsburgh during the 1920, 1930, and maybe in 1940s. They employed family members and other men during that time.

We've lost complete contact with this part of our family.

These two ladies, Laura and Mary, are two of fifteen children of the Benjamin and Hannah (Johnston/Johnson) Grove family.

I am Leon Hood Jr. I was born in Akron Ohio, but grew up in Placerville California. I started looking into my Hood family after my dad died in 2010. I have Prough, Fouse, Householder, isenberg, just to name a few. My family (Hood) was in this area and then one of them moved to Ohio.

Family Historian since 1970.  Besides my own lines, I do research for many others. 

I do research now in North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama.  Past research has been primarily in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York, West Virginia and Virginia.  Have a vast database on Showalter's and related families.
