Heidi - thank you for your message regarding the subject name and offer to check a book for us. There apparently are two George Vankoughnet - however ourline is George Born 1828 married to Lydia Born 1829 from Sheffield Twp. Parents of George were William and Elizabeth nee Loyd. Siblings of George were Katherine Wesley Barbary Magdeline Cinderella Rachel Lydia Ezzy and William. We have no info on Lydia. George and Lydia had two children Alcie and Mary Elizabeth. Alice married David Burgess son of Robert Burgess and Elizabeth Orr. David and Alice would be my great grandparents. We have come to dead end so any information would be of great value. Please advise your line and if we have any info we will gladly share it as well. Thank you for your kind offer and good luck in your research. Cathy
