**********CORRECTION************

The Moorehead in this post was not from PA, She is from VA. Enclosed is a copy of the death certificate with her name on it.

William Theodore Moorehead/Josephine B Skye

msteffens — 2009-07-23 15:43:25Z

Ted and Josephine's descendants should contact the DOI Office of the Special Trustee (OST) for American Indians. The OST is holding money for them. Also any descendants of Josephine's brother Doug Skye. (Not a scam, find site on your own.) Contact me for family info only regarding Annie Murphy Skye of Standing Rock Reservation or Robert Moorehead of Ireland.

Which country are your talking about?

Re: Stevenson Moorehead

RalphWGray — 2008-10-02 12:22:42Z

Are you certain about the Irish link?

No relation to me, but I did find a Stevenson Moorehead on the IGI for you:

STEVENSON MOOREHEAD , Male
Event(s):
Birth: 16 APR 1856 Old Luce, Wigtown, Scotland

Parents:
Father: STEVENSON MOOREHEAD
Mother: MARY CLERK
___________________________________

Also on the IGI, for the same parents, but with the alternative spelling MUIRHEAD, is this record:

ELIZABETH MUIRHEAD, Female

Event(s):
Birth: 16 DEC 1858 Old Luce, Wigtown, Scotland

Parents:
Father: STEVENSON MUIRHEAD
Mother: MARY CLARK
_______________________________

The details look close enough to warrant some investigation, given the rarity of the names.

Good luck

Please include dates and locations in postings

RalphWGray — 2008-06-17 08:57:05Z

Postings such as this are far more useful if they contain dates and locations.

It is impossible to tell from this information if we are talking about 18th century Scotland, 19th century Ireland or 20th century USA.

Ernest R. Moorehead, 87, a veteran Zanesville barber, died in a hospital at Newark, New Jersey, Tuesday morning (19 Oct 1954) at 9 o'clock. He was removed to a Newark hospital Monday from his home at 97 Somerset street in that city.
The deceased had resided in Zanesville (Ohio) from 1888 until three years ago and had been in apparent good health until he became suddenly ill Monday.
Mr. Moorehead retired from the barber business on Sept. 12, 1950, his last association being with the Lewis Black barbershop on North Fifth street where he had been since the early 1920's.
Mr. Moorehead was born near Newburg, in Taylor county, W. Va.
He began his barbering career in Grafton, W. Va., when he was 15 years of age. When he first came to Zanesville, he worked in a barber shop owned by Thornton Tate on lower Main street and later moved to the Alf Robinson shop on North Seventh street. He was associated with the W. W. Hill barber shop on Market street until 1896 when he opened his own establishment on Marietta street.
He continued in that location until he returned to the W. W. Hill shop which had moved to the Masonic temple.

He was a charter member of Barbers Local No. 80 and a charter member of the Independent, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of North Fifth street and was a member of the St. Paul A. M.
