In that area of PA, there was a group of light-skinned blacks that included the Burgess family and others.My family in the area are more from Greene Co. and parts of northern WV, but I am descended from Harvey Burgess (b abt. 1825) who married Nancy Patterson (b 1837, d 1875), who was the daughter of Zachariah (b abt. 1800)and Eliza Pearl (b abt. 1818) Patterson.All of those people are listed as black or mulatto.I suspect that Harvey is the son of Jonathan and Hannah Burgess.
