    1. [NJBurlin] GRANDIN (GRANDON)-DAVIS marriages-1760's?
    2. I have found a reference in a family record to a John DAVIS born about 1740 unknown place, and an Edward GRANDON born 1744 in Burlington, NJ--being brothers-in-law. They lived on the same land in Richhill Twp, Green, PA before John's death. This would mean either Edward GRANDON married a DAVIS sister, John DAVIS married a GRANDON sister, or they married two sisters of a different surname. Since Edward was born in NJ, and later (by or before1783 was in Washington County, PA, Maybe this John DAVIS and Edward married somewhere in New Jersey. Edward may have been a middle name for Edward. Some of the names of this John DAVIS's children were: Nathaniel born 1763 -died 1787 Indian massacre Samuel born 1765 -died 1787 Indian massacre John abt 1767 -only surviving son of massacre Elizabeth born about 1771 -died unknown Sarah born about 1773 -died unknown and others born when he moved to Greene County, PA. John DAVIS and most of the children were killed in the massacre along with his wife. Would anyone know of any very early marriages of these two families? Edward's children were: William born about 1774 Bernard -unproven but in the same place and the age of a son-Edward's father was Bernard. Mary possibly married William KIRK and probably more before he got to Washington Co, PA. There seems to be a JORDAN family connection somehow to these GRANDONs. Thanks for any help. Pam
