Pennsylvania Families

John moved to Westmoreland Co., PA, at the latest by 1802, when he is on the tax list.

His descendants can be found in databases at rootsweb.com. His second wife, Elizabeth, and most children are said to have moved to Illinois, where Elizabeth died in 1858.

the three brothers were listed next to each other, but I think it
was because the census taker alphabetized the information.

3 male 10-15
2 males 16-25
1 male 45+
1 female 10-15
1 females 16-25
