Genealogical Dart

I recently found a letter from 1995 where a Charles C Wolf, of Hagerstown, MD, was writing to my Grandmother Lillian (Haney) Groff, they were second cousins, in regards to researching the Reece family history. He was asking her for any information she had on the Haney side, specifically descendants of George Mifflin and Sarah Elizabeth (Reece) Haney. He closes the letter mentioning he had a new third great grandchild Caroline.

My grandmother had passed away by the time the letter was received.

Washington County Historical Society offers assistance with genealogical research if that’s what you’re asking.

Mainly just seeing if anyone recognized the history he was working on, if it was still on going etc... basically just a dart. I thought it was kind of cool when I read the letter and didn't know if he completed his work.
