James Wonderly - Mary Kestler
I have just discovered that my G-G-Grandfather, James Wonderland was probably born James Wonderly about 1815. He married Mary Kestler about 1835, probably in or near Tyrone Township, Huntingdon Co., Pennsylvania. Tyrone Township became part of Blair Co. when it was formed in the 1840's. James and Mary had a son Peter born in October or November of 1836. I have three different dates on different documents, all in October or November.
The 1840 census for Tyrone Township has the following entry:
Jas Wondealy, 1 male under 5 (Peter?), 1 male 20 to 30 (James?), 1 female 20 to 30 (Mary?)
James was using the name Wonderland by the time he married Lenora Edmunds in 1853. I have a copy of the marriage certificate.
I would appreciate any information on James.
