Hi Cousin, Rachel md. a Robert Hodge NFI, issue; Bartholomew , Emeline, Priscilla, Talitha, William, Moses, and John b. 1834 (my G-Grandfather). John md. Mary Jane King and had issue: Lucinda F., Robert Moses, Susan Caroline, Rachel Elizabeth, Almyra, Anne Priscilla, William Henry and James Ambrose (my Grandfather). My evidence indicates that the Ambrose who married Elizabeth Barton was an uncle of our Ambrose who was born in Ireland ca 1767. Our Ambrose immigrated to Philadelphia in 1772 with his parents, Francis and Martha (Sproat) Hodge.
