This list has been very active so I thought I would ask this question to see if any of you might have a book or record that might further document one of my ancestors. His name is Morris Beach and his parents were Stephen Whitehead Beach and Hannah Matthews. He was born in NJ, 1807 and his mother died within a year of his birth. His father, Stephen W. Beach remarried the next year to Martha Simpson also from NJ. Sometime between 1811-1818 they removed from NJ to PA. I found documentation of this in History of Mercer Co. PA as well as History of Venango Co. PA, both published in the late 19th century. Stephen and Martha were both members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Irwin, Venango Co. PA and are buried in the cemetery there. I was hoping there would also be a record of this first child Morris, by previous marriage, in some old Venango Co records. Stephen and Martha had an additional 12 children, and Oliver Beach is the one documented in the books and in his bio, his brother Morris is mentioned. Morris is first listed in the 1850 c married and removed to Ohio. If anyone has any old PA/Venango books that may shed more light on Morris and his time as a boy in PA, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. Eve in NC
