The McFeaters family has been living in Pennsylvania for eleven generations--I am the 9th generation.
My interest in genealogy came from listening to my paternal grandmother (Evans) recollecting generations of history about her and my McFeaters grandfather's family which were told to me as a young girl.
My grandmother was 70 years old when we started seriously researching our family history. She could not drive a car but she could drive a horse and buggy!
As soon as I got my driver's license, I started to chauffeur her to areas where old homesteads and family cemeteries were located across SW Pennsylvania. We spent many days traveling in my old Volks Wagen Bug, cleaning headstones and documenting locations--keep in mind, this was long before computers and the internet! On occasion, we would find some one who was an "old timer" and he/she would remember my grandmother and reminisce with us for hours.
I was hooked and knew my grandmother chose me to be the family historian and pass on the information to future generations.
Recently, I started a McFeaters Surname Project, please join me in researching this name! And I also have a OPS. Indiana, Pennsylvania One Place Study which is currently a work-in-progress which you can view if you are interested in learning more about my and Jimmy Stewart's (actor) hometown.

On my maternal side, it is not very easy to research. My grandfather came to the United States in the early 1900's from Vinne, Michalovce, Slovensko--which is current day Slovakia. My gradmother was a Brazosky and her family came to the United States from Nalepkovo, Gelnica, Kosieky, Slovensko about one generation before my grandfather. Most of the imigrants from my family first settled in the Renovo/Snow Shoe areas of Pennsylvania and then moved on to Indiana County, Pennsylvania.
The ancestor information for Scotland, Ireland and Magna Carta are provided below with the understanding that there may be some relationships that are uncertain in the data base.

I may need your help with this one. I have checked several places on the web and cannot find John Heilman's name (my 4th GGF) listed anywhere for the 1st Battalion, Cumberland County Militia. I may not be looking in the right place. However, I did find a DAR record (A054235) which states he was: https://services.dar.org/public/dar_research/search_adb/default.cfm?Action=Search&Opt=&Last_Name=Heilman&First_Name=Michael&P_ID=&ServiceState=PA&BirthState=&DeathState=&SpouseLastName=&SpouseFirstName=&Rank=&Live_County=&Live_City=&Live_District=&Live_State=&Pension_Number=&sortby=Last_Name
Bill, the profile manager on his page is my 3rd cousin and his research is impeccable so I am at a lost about this. I have found a reference to the 1st Battalion on Find-A-Grave, but his gravestone just states Revolutionary War Veteran.
Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated. And, thank you! Best, Bonnie
