I've been looking over the 1800 Beaver Co., PA census for any clues as to who my John Courtright from Sussex Co was traveling with, since he wasn't w/ any other Courtrights I figure he had to be w/ some relatives of some sort. Well I think he was & Jacob Van Gorden is looking pretty darn good! He was obviously older, like maybe old enough to be his father-in-law? Anyway here are the other folks I found to be interesting, please those of you who know Sussex Co genealogy look over these names & let me know if they are known Sussex folks. Any clue no matter how small will be appreciated.
