Researching the COURTRIGHT, CORTWRIGHT, etc. family. I have recently been able to connect my John Courtright of Columbiana & Jefferson Co., OH to his family in NJ. He was most likely the s/o John Cortright & Susanna KITTLE. Many of the people of the Minisink Valley (SUssex Co., NJ & Orange Co., NY) left the area after the Rev. My John Courtright left w/ at least 2 others: Jacob FIGLEY & Abraham WESTFALL. At first they settled in Washington Co., PA. Some ended up in Beaver Co., PA when that county was formed. Some moved in 1818 to Columbiana Co., OH when that land opened. I have looked in land deeds for almost all these counties & have never found John Courtright mentioned. However he raised 12 children, only 10 are known. They lived mainly in Columbiana & Jefferson until 1830, then spread out. Below are John COURTRIGHT & Mary CLARKS children. Any help w/ this family is greatly appreciated. 1 John Courtright b: Sep 7, 1774 Sussex Co., NJ Baptism: Nov 1, 1780 DeerPark, Orange Co.,NY d: Aft. 1830 Jefferson Co.,OH .. +Mary Clark b: Bet. 1771 - 1780 NJ m: Sep 14, 1797 Stillwater Reformed, Sussex Co.,NJ by Rev.
