Presbyterian minister in the late 1800s early 1900s in Pennsylvania, but the famliy was raised in Mercer
County and Trenton. ( But sometime back moved from Phila ). Some lived in Mercer County until the mid
1900s. This family is the surname of my maternal grandmother, and if this family can be found it may
provide a clue to a missing step in the ancestry.
