Subject: [D-Col] DEMAREE AND COZINE

I recently came across these papers which I had copied several years ago while in Harrisburg, PA. They are located in the Dauphin County Historical Society. These notes were taken from a series of letters as well as a long involved genealogy written by hand. The files are quite thick with Demaree materials as they also relate to later geneations who lived in Dauphin Co. I was searching at the time in the hopes that I could track down the descendants of Rev. Cozine and perhaps discover that one of his ancestors still had baptismal records for the Berkely Co WVA Dutch in their posession. No luck there however, but if someone is looking for this information:
