I am searching for what appears to be linked to this family. I believe our Jacob Moury (now Maury) came to Northumberland/upper Schuylkill area around 1800 from Columbia (Hudson Valley area) of New York State. His nephew George inherited his land when he died. I have not verified any of this because I got it from a book called: History of the counties of Lehigh and Carbon in the Commonwealth of PA by Alfred mathews and Austin N. Hungerford, 1884. The following I do have verified: Jacob Maury 10/1/1827-7/10//1, Odd Fellows Cemetery, Tamaqua, PA, GAR at grave, "In my Father's house are many mansions." wife- Sarah A. Maury, 3/19/1836-6/6/1925, Odd Fellows Cemetery, Tamaqua, PA. " I shall be satisfied when I awake in Thy Likeness" Other family names that I can provide information about are: David b. 1872, George 1864, Benjamin Franklin 1856, Emmealine 1860, Mary, jacob Jr., Mae, Susanne, Josiah, and the names of several infants who died very young. Jacob was my gr.gr. grandfather, Benjamin our gr. grandfather. Would be happy to share all information that I have. Rita
