Well disaster has struck my Courtright family tree. I was just informed this week that my Johannes Courtright b. 1774 & married Mary Clarke 1797 in Sussex Co., NJ was NOT the s/o William Ennes Courtright & Sarah Hyndshaw! That info came from Abbott & has been proved wrong, it seems John the s/o William Ennes Courtright never left PA & married Maria Gonsalus. I am devasted as I have spent many years on the related lines. Is anyone researching this family ? I'm sure that's where he came from, he married there at least. They moved rather soon after their marriage as I've tracked him best I can w/ the early census records. His migration seemed to be :1800-1810 Beaver Co., PA, 1820 Jefferson Co., OH. From an OH History I know that he actually was in Columbiana Co., OH in 1818, however I believe that he did not move but the boundary changed. Courtright, John NJ SUSSEX CO.

If I may make just a couple of suggestions, it might make your life easier.... (1) Keep anything you've collected on the family even if it appears to be the wrong line. (2) Leave your records exactly as they are, until you are convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have the wrong parent. (3) Even if/when you are convinced, keep the "info in error". Try to find where he fits in correctly. (4) Keep comparing your old info with your new info. Somewhere, somehow you might discover that you were right in the first place. Hang in there ----- Cheers, Rich in NH
