According to my research, Samuel Dale was born in Levernson, England (near Manchester) on March 22, 1801 and died in Rush Township, Pennsylvania on February 21, 1873; that he was married to Hannah Dale (same last name, reportedly a cousin) in 1822 possibly in Philadelphia; that she was born on January 8, 1801 in Manchester, England on January 8, 1801 to Joseph M. Dale and Mary Ryder. I show that Samuel Dale was born to John Dale and Alice France; John Dale was born in 1758 in Lancashire, England and Alice France was born in Heaton, Lancashire on May 29, 1766. My records show that Samuel and Hannah Dale had five children, Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Fred, Martha, and Alice. Mary Ann Dale was my great grandmother and was married to my great grandfather David H. Parker. Their son, my grandfather was Samuel Blair Parker and his son was Arthur F. Parker, my father. David Parker's father was Moses Parker but I have not been able to find out any further information regarding him except he reportedly immigrated from Northern Ireland in the early 1800s aboard the sailing ship Westpoint. I have more information regarding these ancestors but would appreciate any further information that anyone else has. I would very much like to know how you are related to Mary Ann (Dale) Parker and also interesting in more about the bed your mother sleeps in.
