Hi and thanks for responding and for the information you sent. At this point I am not positive but I think Rebecca (Ness)'s parents were John and Sarah. I found Rebecca in the 1850 Springfield, York County census as follows: John - age 53 - Farmer Sarah - age 49 Rebecca - 13 John - 10 Amos - 6 Reuben - 5 Josiah - 1 All born in PA The age for Rebecca is about right so I'm guessing it's her.
