Larry, Thank you for your response. Since my message I have found solid proof of Mary's marriage and parentage: 1) I have a fax of their bible record page showing her birth as 20 Sep 1760 and their children 2) I have the Sussex Co Lutheran Church marriage of "Elias Beutleman and Mary Quiney", 3) I have a 1912 DAR application naming "Mrs Bidleman" as a daughter of Peter Kinney and Margaret Biggs. I also have concluded that David Kinney who m. Marg Shipman was a son of Peter Kinney and Elizabeth Shipman since: 1) Peter Kinney who d 1819 in Columbia Co PA named David and Aaron among his sons in his 1815 will, 2) Aaron's daughter applied to DAR giving Peter's wife's name as Margaret Biggs, 3) David who m. Shipman was deceased in 1801, long before the other David was named in Peter and Biggs' will of 1815. and 4) The other David was very likely living in the southwest corner of PA where he applied for a Rev War pension stating he was "born in the fall of 1757 in Sussex Co NJ". All that said, you and I are cousins: 1)David (1758-1801) settled next to John Stryker's father John (1724-1787) and his brothers Peter, Isaac and Barent Stryker in Clinton Tp Lycoming Co PA c1787 where I have a court record of them building a fishing wharf together in 1796. 2) David's sister Elizabeth Kinney m. John Stryker Jr (1757-1793), my ancestor, and they resided in Somerset Co NJ. 3) Elizabeth and their brother Frederick Kinney (1769-1822) are mentioned as namesake heirs and children of Peter Kinney in the Fred and Elizabeth Mowerson Wills dated 1790 there. 4) The Peter of Coliumbia Co had no son Frederick in his 1815 will so that is additional proof that helps separate the two Peter Kinney children sets. I have much more and am intrigued by the settlement of David Kinney with my ancestor John Stryker's siblings in PA. Is there anything else you would share with me about David's life, death and descendants? I also learned that David's widow married Robert Miller. I discovered that Miller was the supervisor of Highways there in Lycoming Co PA and he led a group of men down to the river in April 1796 to destroy that wharf because it interfered with commercial river traffic and that most of the builders attacked the party except for David Kinney. The wharf, I theorize was built so the men could operate the seine more efficiently in the spot where they had discovered a tremendous fishing hole of shad in 1787. Taking out the wharf meant they had to wade out into the dangerous currents and perhaps that contributed to David's drowning in 1801. I look forward to hearing from you again. Your cousin Bill Stryker
