Family of Sheridan Landis Hunsicker and Emily Farquhar

When I started looking into my family history I only knew the names of my parents and grandparents.

I found this family once I discovered A Genealogical History of the Hunsicker Family.

I do not have any original documents for members of this family other than my grandfather, Clifford Sheridan Hunsicker. Therefore the only sources will be the book mentioned above and the census with a few other things like the SSDI and the Pennsylvania Death Index.

With this family I have taken my tree back three generations through my father William Robert Hunsicker, my grandfather Clifford Sheridan Hunsicker, and my great grandfather Sheridan Landis Hunsicker.

This will be the next family for which I look for original documents after I have found everything for my grandparents.

Sheridan Landis Hunsicker, son of Charles M. Hunsicker (1842-1922) and Hannah Landis (1843-1892) (This family can be found here), was born 13 September 1865 in Skippack Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States and died 10 Oct 1916 in Germantown, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, United States.
