Eleanor: Northumberland County was formed in 1772, until this date it was part of Northampton County. Northampton was created in 1752, so perhaps the records are "mixed" between them. My ancestors are from Nothumberland, however were in Montgomery County(then a part of Philadelphia County) during the war. Were not involved with the military.

I was told that a majority of the men living in Northumberland went to Northampton to serve. I have never heard of people leaving en masse from their own county to serve in another county. However, I know that ALL things are possible in genealogy. Has anyone ever heard of this? Does anyone have a Rev War soldier from Northumberland that served in Northampton? > >Thanks. >Eleanor > > > >
