    3. One more time: Jane Moffit married Victor King on 8 Oct 1761 in York County, Pennsylvania (since 1800 this section of York County has been Adams County). It was Victor's second marriage. They had children: Susanna, b. 25 Jul 1762; William, b. 3 Jan 1764; Samuel Moffett, b. 16 Feb 1766; James, b. 31 May 1768; and Thomas b. after 1764. Victor King died on 9 Apr 1775, and Jane later married Samuel McConaughy. Jane died on 2 May 1822 in Adams County, PA. Susannah Moffett (in both Susannah's and in Jane's case, I am using the spelling which I have found in the records) married John Waugh sometime before 1762, in York County, PA (in the are which is now Adams County, PA). John Waugh was the son of William Waugh. John and Susannah had children: Nancy, b. 1762; James; Samuel; William; John; Mary; Susannah, b. 1 Oct 1773. John died sometime in 1777/1778 (reportedly at Valley Forge, but this is not proved). Susannah later married Matthew Dill, by whom she had no children known. Susannah Dill is buried in Lower Marsh Creek Presbyterian Cemetery in Adams County, PA. In 1780, on the same day, appeared Jane King and Susannah Waugh in Orphan's County in York County, PA to have guardians appointed for their minor children. On 2 Apr 1787 Nancy Waugh, daughter of Susannah Moffett and John Waugh, married William King, son of Jane Moffit and Victor King. They had children: Mary, b. 1789; Victor, b. 11 Mar 1790; John, b. 16 Oct 1791; Samuel Moffett; b. 11 Nov 1793; Susan, b. 15 Oct 1796; and Jane, b. 1800. Does anyone have any information on this Moffit/Moffett family? Were Jane and Susannah related...sisters? It is also possible that the McKee family is involved. Susannah's granddaughter, Nancy McKee married her cousin James McKee, and moved with him to Madison, Indiana. Living in Madison, Indiana at the time, and connected through business with James McKee's father, Thomas, were Victor and John King, sons of William King and Nancy Waugh (who would have been Nancy McKee's aunt). I have all these connections, but no document that ties them all together... HELP! Bill Brewer
