Catherine (nee unknown) and Johann Renninger were my GGG grandparents. They married circa 1786 in Montgomery County, moved to Northumberland County circa 1804, and finally to Union County circa 1813 where they died and are buried exact location unknown. Apparently Catherine died first circa 1835 then Johann circa 1840. Both were born in Philadelphia County in 1766 (the part that became Montgomery County). Some records show "Johann" as Johann, Johann Peter, and just Peter. Looking for someone researching these people. I have a lot of information to share. Don Renninger nanren@AOL.com

Hello List members, Could anyone tell me where to find a map showing Penns creek or if it is still named that. In 1794 my 4th g, grandfather George Mitchel and his wife Elizabeth purchased land beginning at a post at the side of Penns creek. He bought the land from a Jacob Miller and the land bordered the land of John Miller. It was the same tract of land that Frederick Miller and his wife Eva Maria purchased in 1779. The land was bordered on the other side by land of Paul Hnepper. I live in Michigan and would sure appreciate it if anyone could even tell me where the land or Penns creek is located from New Berlin. Thanks for any help, Ron Rmhahn@avci.net

I am searching for information on the MOORE family of Union County, PA. They settled near Milton about 1772. I believe that they were James Moore and, his wife, Mary Woods. The children that I know of are Sarah Moore, married William Miller, and James Wilson Moore, born 1797. James Moore died abt. 1812 and Mary not long after that. James Wilson lived with his sister Sarah and her husband. Sarah and William Miller had a daughter named Eleanor, who married a Seth McCormick, and had a son, Henry O. McCormick, who I believe was an Attorney Gen. of PA. Any help on this line would be greatly appreciated. Bill Hurst McKinney, TX
