Updated: January 9, 2010 The information on this site was collected from many sources and also includes much of the information from a book written by Mrs. Elizabeth Brubaker Wolff who was the compiler and author of the book titled "Early History and Genealogy of the Anderson-McCullough-McCune Families and Related Lines of Franklin County". Other prominent families in her book are Clark, Dick, Folk, Phelps, & Humphrey which are all connected to the Oliver Anderson family. The book includes data that was compiled up to the late 1950's and was distributed in 1963. Elizabeth also wrote a sketch named "Looking Backward" of the time she lived as a young person in the area known as the "Corner" located 5 miles southwest of Mercersburg, Montgomery Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. It describes her memories and events of places and people living there in the late 1800's. Many of the ancestors in this genealogy once lived in this area of Pennsylvania.
