About The Law Family Tree
******THIS WEB PAGE IS DEDICATED TO MY COUSIN JOHN LAW WHO PASSED IN 2014*****
Created this site while at home on disability and after 30 years of (off and on) research on both the Heffelfinger side and the Law sides.
Mary Law was born Martha Heffelfinger to Harvey D. and Malinda C. Heffelfinger of Carlisle, PA. Malinda died of sepsis during childbirth with a son who also perished. Martha was sent to a boarding school (turned out to be an orphanage) and Harvey would send money and visit. When a couple named Robert Law and Sarah McCourt Bain Law who were childless wanted to adopt her. Harvey agreed and they changed her name to Mary Law. She continued to keep in touch with her bio family.
Robert Law, my father who came to this country from Scotland at age 18 along with 2 brothers, Daniel and John. I was told my Great Uncle Robert Law (Mom's adoptive father) paid to bring the boys over to the US. Mom and Robert Law became sweet on each other and the rest is history!
So Robert Law is not only my paternal great Uncle but he is also my Grandfather.
