Nice message, Wayne You do confuse me on the brother William being killed at sea. I thought that he died 11 Sep 1811 in Allentown, Monmouth Co., NJ??

He lost his brother, William, who was killed at sea during the Revolution and he also lost his brother, Dr. Robert McKean, who died shortly after his marriage to the daughter of the Governor of New Jersey. <SNIP>
