I have been researching since the mid 1970's. In my search, trying to solve the mystery of Jacob Arney (1728-1784), who lived in the area of York(town), York County, Pennsylvania.   I have often come across the Arney family in New Jersey. Including a Joseph Arney, and a John Arney who married a Martha Paxton (in 1764). At the same time, I'm also looking into the Earney family of Colebrookdale Twp., in Berks County, PA, & Douglass Twp., in Philadelphia County, PA (both these townships & counties were literally, side-by-side). Well, The "Arneys", that lived in Burlington County, New Jersey, were "border mates" with the Arney's & Earney's, that lived in Berks & Philadelphia Counties, in Pennsylvania.Is this a coincidence? I'm still attempting to piece together, whether or not, all three of these families, should be brought together, or not. 1. My Jacob Arney, died in Lincoln County, North Carolina, leaving behind his Will, dated in 1782. 2. Frederick Earney (aka Frederick Ernigh), died in Berks County, Pennsylvania, in 1771, and his own son, Jacob, died in 1776, in Pennsylvania. 3. Joseph Arney, died in Burlington County, New Jersey, in 1772. Any ideas or thoughts on these subjects would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, for your time, consideration, and cooperation.
