In Reply to: Thora and Blaine Barefoot, late 19th and early 20th century by Eric Olsen of 1278

Dear Eric, My aunt Gertie McCune b 1905 Windber PA and mother (Gertie's sister), Zita McCune born 1904 Windber spoke highly of Cora Williams and Blaine Barefoot. They were the daughters of John McCune and Mary Jane Clapper McCune.

I'm happy to have come across your message and think I have resolved it. Warm Regards and Happy New Year! Jane Curci wmcurci@aol.com

The Civil War record solves the problem of whether he was born in MA or MD. He was born in MA
