U B Buskirk was my great great grandfather.His granddaughter Emma(John Ladleys daughter) married Wm. McCoys son Sailor McCoy.
I am the great great granddaughter of Peter Morgan. Would like to talk?
Why was Urias guarded? He shot my gg grandfather
My guess is that it was for that reason he was guarded by McCoy.
Yes. Brandon. Yet Urias was never found guilty. Do you have any other information regarding this incident? Who was Peter married to at the time and who buried Peter?
I do have more information. I collect anything related to the old Buskirks. It’s not organized though. Just a lot of documents and news stories all jumbled together.
I would be grateful if you could share it. I understand it being jumbled. Two things I’m searching for. Peter’s remains. And who he was married to at the time of the shooting. I noticed a comment above mine. From the granddaughter of Urus. I would dearly love to get to know her. Thank you
I understand. The site made me log in again. Hope you don’t receive duplicate comments. I’m interested in the location if Peter’s remains, who buried him and where. And who he was married to at the time of the shooting. If possible please. I noticed a comment above from Urias’s granddaughter.. it would be interesting if she and I could talk. Thank you for your work
