1820 - that's awfully early for an obituary, unless Jacob Rider was "somebody" (lol.) My educated guess would be at one time he was a resident of both places and had friends and/or relatives in both places. Neat to find a newspaper that early, too! I'm still trying to figure out why one ancestor has a grave marker in 2 places - Wythe co VA & Dauphin co PA.

No doubt you're right. Perhaps Jacob Rider could be found in some early "Who's Who" or social registers. I have to admit it was intriguing to me because some of the same patterns of migration, or the reverse, have appeared in my family.
