Dear Jan, THATCHER- I daughter out on Thatcher in 1690 when Jane Thatcher marries William Brinton. Jane is daughter of Richard Thatcher born Uffington, England, died Chester Co PA 1722. Jane died 1755 Birmingham PA. BLACKBURN - I am searching for ancestry of my greatgrandfather, William Blackburn, born Ireland 1840, resided Penn Twp, Westmoreland Co PA from at least 1870, married Sarah MATLACK BRINTON . Other associated BRINTON surnames: SMEDLEY, MERCER, DICKS, HAINES, BORTON, KINTON, BAGLEY, DARLINGTON, more available if you are interested. I don't know if there is a connection with your Blackburns, but I do have NJ connections through some of the HAINES connections. I am copying some of the appropriate lists with this and your inquiry, in case others have input that will be of help to us. Good luck !! Bill Blackburn Mt.
