As I read your post Delilah Roach was your great-grandmother? My grandfather did definately have a sister by that name, as well as one named Hannah. I agree with you , I suspect we are second cousins once removed or third cousins. I have found the family of John F. and Elizabeth Roach in the Warminster Township - Bucks County Census for both 1900 and 1910. My grandfather is shown correctly in both first as a 2 year old and then as 12. Sisters I mentioned before are also shown - Hannah, Sarah, Matilda, Elizabeth and Delilah, not all in both since older ones apparently married or at least away from home & working in 1910 and younger ones not born yet in 1900. Brother William is also shown as youngest child in 1910. In the 1900 census the mother Elizabeth indicated she was born in England and emigrated to the USA in 1883. John F & children all shown as born in USA - John in NJ & all chldren in PA. These 7 were born between 1890 & 1910. John A. attended the Warminster Twp schools and apparently graduated around 1912 or 13. He then went to Philly to live with a married sister and worked at several jobs. He married in 1918 in Philadelphia just before he was drafted. I was told that while in the Army in WWI he changed the spelling of his surname to Roche, so this is the way our branch spells the name. He and wife had 6 children reach adulthood. They lived first in Philly, then in 1930s in Shamokin where he found work and finally in Reading from late 1930s onward till he died in late 60s. In order to marry his wife he had to convert to being Luthern and I always got the impression that he was perhaps ostracised by his family perhaps for converting, but perhaps it was for other reasons.

William Headley STARKEY, the son of Daniel STARKEY and Jane YERKES was born September 9, 1825, he died 1919 in Bustleton, Philadelphia, PA. He married Ellen Hall COMLY in 1850. She was born 1829 and died 1901. They had 5 sons and 3 daughters: Mary, Clara, Samuel, William, J. Comly - These are the children that lived to adulthood. I know that some of the children are buried in William Penn Cemetery in Somerton, Philadelphia, PA. I am a descendant of Daniel Seth STARKEY, brother of William Headley STARKEY. I will ask my mother if she has any recollections of William Harper STARKEY. I also have BIDDLE relatives.

Thank you for your reference. I'll be watching Burlington Co. a little closer. There must have been a lot of boat traffic across that Delaware River! Thanks again. Doreen Pool

Thanks so much, Horace. I will keep your info. I know all these families have ties - I just can't find the one link for mine. Doreen Pool

Still looking for VAN ZANDT and/or VANSANT. Just can't find those elusive parents of Margaret Ann Van Zandt, b 1824 Bucks Co., m David Field TAYLOR, b 1821, in Trenton, NJ. Both died in MO after having lived in Niagara Co., NY and Canada. Children: Phoebe Taylor, b 1848, m John DAVIS of MD Mary Amelia Taylor, b 1850, m Wm. H. BYERS of Philadelphia Wm. Van Zandt Taylor, b 1856 Margaret E. Taylor, b 1858, m (2) Wm. MC KIBBON of Chicago All moved to St. Louis. This Van Zandt line according to elder stories connects to New Amsterdam BOGARDUS, JANS, and KNICKERBOCKER lines.

I found Issachar Craven as a Revolutionary War soldier through DAR research. I will forward you the link on this. Also, this family moved to Morrow County, Ohio; that link is also included. I am tracing the Cravens trying to find a Mahlon who was born in 1786 in Loudoun Twp. Do you have anything on him? What do you know about the Cravens in VA?

I forget who was looking for the Detweiler information but I found this... Hope it helps you out.. ST. JOHNS CEMETERY, KUTZTOWN MAXATAWNY TOWNSHIP BERKS COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA DETWEILER, Jacob, b. 11 Apr 1774, d. 6 Feb 1832 DETWEILER, Susanna nee ROTHERMEL, w/o Jacob, b. Jul 1766, d. 24 Mar 1833, m. 1797, 8 children

WOW you have great information. Do you have any clues to William Harper Starkey (wife Martha Biddle, my Great grandfather)? There are lots of missing pieces in recent history. His father is William Headley Starkey (wife Ellen Hall Comly), whose father is Daniel (wife Jane Yerkes), whose father is Thomas (wife Ascha Tudor, brother of your Daniel), whose father is Jacob.
