Here is something weird/odd/unusual

My GrgrGrandfather was a Drover/Cattle Agent (Hunter Robinson 1821-1891) who worked between Iowa and Baltimore, after the stockyards opened, but was originally from southwestern Pennsylvania. Doing family research one day there was a woman who claimed him as a grgr grandfather also. I didn’t know her. She lived near what used to be a Drovers Cottage in what today would be West Virginia near the Ohio border. I came on line and introduced myself...she deleted her account without responding. Naturally, I hadn’t bothered to take her information since she was seeking information and haven’t heard from her in over a decade...she immediately deleted her account and all information including her postings. Last time I checked/visited what remained of the cottage was still there.

Another oddity is that Hunter was born in a time frame when first born were named from the surname of the female...and that hasn’t been a help in researching the family either.
