After some random google searches, I thought I'd poke around and see what I found in the Google Book's project. After putting in Huntingdon and McCahan, I came across a link to a book of mining case law of all things. The defendants, in 1874, were John and Thomas S. McCahan. It would need to be verified, but given the time frame and location, it is not unreasonable to think this might be my grandmother's grandfather and his brother, or great-grandfather and his son. Given the multitude of John's, Mary's and Thomas' in the family I suppose it would not be prudent to assume anything, but it is something new to dig into.

The link goes to a book called The Mining Reports, containing recent cases on the law of mines, Vol 16, by R. S. Morrison of the Colorado Bar, published in 1894.
