Maggie and the list, Most of my father's family passed freely back and forth across the Delaware as early as 1770's...Northampton, Bucks and Luzerne Counties in particular. There were many ferries, wtih bridges soon to follow. I found a great chronology of Northampton history that should be of interest to many members of our list since mine wasn't the only family bouncing back and forth over the river...been to the graveyards, and seen way too many familiar names! Go to: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/northampton/history/local/davis/davis3 0.txt and scroll through the document. The chronology is about halfway through, but there's a lot of great info. Before you exit the site, go back to the top, and locate the url for the main site of Northampton History...there's plenty more there! My 3xggrandfather William HEITZMAN was born in Hunterdon Co., baptised in Easton in St John's Evangelical Church; married in the same church to Anna WINTERS of Forks Twp., Northampton Co., lived and raised his family in both Forks Twp. and Warren Co., was buried in Easton...so it's safe to say that the generations of the late 1700's and early 1800's thought nothing of commuting across the Delaware on a daily basis. If you are in the Northampton /Warren area, I highly recommend the Easton Library's Marx Room. They have lots of church records, indexes, census, etc. for both Northampton and Warren Co.. It a great place to start research in the area. And just to the west is one of the largest cemeteries in the area, with a great index of burials in the cemetery office at the entrance...found 8 relatives...it was a very good day! Maggie, in your post, you neglected to name your GGGrandfather, what's the surname you're looking for? Happy Hunting, Wendy

Thanks for responding. The name I'm looking for is Jacob Rogers,Sr. born 1/1/1777 or 78. On the 1880 census in IA he listed his birthplace and his parents as being from PA. His son, Jacob was born in Sept 1836, and according to family history in Warren County.. I found a Jacob Rogers age 14 in the 1850 census in Mercer, E. Windsor, NJ. So I don't know if he was born there or was "from" Warren County. Neither father nor son would be buried there as they were in IL in 1864,and then they both went to IA, the father stayed there , and jacob Jr. came to MO. Thanks for any help you can give me..
