“Sarah’s Roots and Twigs” has lots of different things relating to that portion of Armstrong County Pennsylvania where the Barnards were. Here is her introduction:

Here is some of the history of Rural Valley, Yatesboro, and surrounding areas in Cowanshannock Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania that I’ve gathered up along the way. This is a work in progress with much more to be transcribed. Many of these materials were found while I was cleaning out my aunt’s home in Rural Valley. Quite a few others came from the estate of Mary Elizabeth (”Lib”) Caylor and were generously donated by Linda Repine. Submissions are very welcome!

This site is subdivided into the following areas:
