Is she a sister of Mildred Mitchell Dingman, who along with her husband, Bob Dingman, owned the corner gas station in Coneville, PA?

No. Orange Woodruff Strong and Margaret P. Dingman are in our very extended family tree. Their daughter Cynthia Maria Strong married Charles L. Vergason (second marriage for both). He is patriarch of the Vergason Branch of our family tree.

Gerry Hamilton thank you. It's just that she looks a lot like a Mitchell to me, and it is just a coincidence that Mildred Mitchell's sister also owned a little corner store in Coudersport.

Potter/McKean County, Pennsylvania Genealogy

Earlier this weekend, I joined this group and read with great interest the messages that have been posted.
My main maternal lines are the ancestors, descendants and in-laws of:
--Mahlon Mitchell Jr. (1806-1889) and Elizabeth Gilbert (1815-1877), my 2nd great grandparents.
She is a 6th generation Mayflower descendant of Edward Fuller.
This Mitchell family’s reunion started in 1923. (I am reunion president, because none of my cousins want the title.) The 2018 reunion is scheduled for July 21 at the Mitchell Pavilion at Coudersport Area Recreation Park. (The pavilion is named after an unrelated Mitchell. For many years the group met at Mitchell Park, also named after an unrelated Mitchell.)
Their son George Washington Mitchell (1844-1915) is my great grandfather.
--Charles L. Vergason (1833-1924) and his second wife Cynthia Maria Strong (1835-1915), my 2nd great grandparents. Their daughter Lydia Eliza is third wife of George Washington Mitchell and my great grandmother.
Today’s Mitchell reunion was originally the Mitchell-Vergason Reunion in 1923, and Charles attended. All branches of the family are welcome at our reunions.
--Charles W. Thompson (1868-1939) and Ada Dell Toles (1873-1963), my great grandparents. There are at least two different and apparently unrelated Toles lines in Potter Co. Both are in my tree.
My main paternal line is the Hamilton line, which came to Potter Co. from Monongalia Co., WV.
My father was Jake Hamilton (1918-1954).
Two of his brothers also settled in Potter Co.
-- Harry Kimble “Johnny” Hamilton (1914-1967) and
-- Marshall Hamilton (1924-1991).
The three brothers had 12 children in Potter Co., and most of them settled in the Coudersport area.
Two of my first cousins are
- Larry Kimble Hamilton (1944-1994) and
- Thomas Howard Hamilton (1947-2006).
My all-male Hamilton line descends from Henry Hamilton (1742-1828), who came to Monongalia Co., from Northern Ireland.
My Hamiltons also descend from the large Tennant and Haught families of Monongalia Co. in the 1700s.
My mother was Luella Mae Mitchell (1917-2010). Mom and Dad owned the Coudersport Service Station business (known as the Corner Store at the corner of Main and Chestnut) from about July 1950 to about June 1952. I have a few memories. Mom was a cashier at the Coudersport elementary school cafeteria for many years.
Other Potter Co. surnames in the tree include:
Ayers, Baker, Bennett, Clark, Clinton, Cornelius, Dingman, Foster, Gilbert, Hackett, Haskins, Hauber, King, Knowlton, Lattin, Matteson, Russell, Snyder, Tauscher (Teuscher), Toombs.

Gerry Hamilton I’m not sure if you’re related to Arron (Bernie) Haskins from Emporium/Austin area. I am his grand daughter. My dad is Leon (Butch) Haskins which lives in Eldred. Kind of fun to chat with those who may have known my relatives even if we aren’t related directly
