SusiCP: regarding: "JOHN was born near the Cumberland Dauphin line. I am not sure where says near Harrisburg in bible. But JOHN with his mill in Rye Township Fishing Creek Valley as an adult is also near Harrisburg." I suspect your family Bible recording is accurate because Dauphin County in divided from Perry County by the wide (1 mile across) Susquehanna River, and Harrisburg in the early 19th century was nearly a day's journey from Fishing Creek Valley and the site of the mill. The early family would have thought the area distinction an important one. Barbara Rye Town, Perry Co
