Alice- I just gave the pico search for the Bradford County,Pa,usgenweb, a
run through on the name "Rightmire". Given names are a Cornelius and a
James, and a Samuel, and George,etc. There is a DeEtta given name and a
Larrison given name and a Burt given name. Pehaps you will want to use this
pico search yourself as there are 65 Rightmire hits. Interestingly for me my
Lefler surname also had given names of Larison and Burt. Larison and Burt
are also surnames of Hunterton County,NJ, along with Lefler/Loeffler and
Reichtmeyer. All these familys had farms almost next door to one another in
Ridgebury and neighboring towns of Wilowana and Bently Creek near the NY
border. Bob
