Looking for any leads of Philip Cress/Kress parents in PA. Any links to try would be helpful. a desc of his has matched up 36/37 to a Daniel Grass desc that was born in Pa and went to Ind, indicates a solid relationship, whether brothers or lst cousins is unk at this time. Philip eventually returns to Pa later indicating probable family there which we can't find. No will is found but administration records were found. Daniel's family obviously in Pa as he was born there 1774 then he arrives in KY before 1800, marries and has 7 children. All stayed in that area. Can't get further back on Daniel either except by stories told of his family that can not be documented. Last names will vary as will the last name of Nancy and her parents. Philip had 2 children who married siblings Kirkpatrick. Anyone have or run across any of this family or have a Pa site we haven't tried or a ship's list please post, have more info just posted a bit so to show a picture...glad to share, thanks kindly.
