Thanks again Jack your info has been very useful.Also yours seems to be the most thoroughly researched, I have only been at this for a couple years now.Still Learning.All I know is that I am descended from a Derrick Bird who was Born in Bedminster, Somerset Co. NJ in 1763.He moved to PA by 1793 and settled in Addison Twp, Somerset County PA.He had 18 children to 2 wives.Have partial list of them, some not sure of.It seems first wife who is unknown died shortly after they came to PA.He remarried to Elizabeth Barnett abt 1806? and had 12 children to her.Still trying to track down his info.Can not be confirmed but it is thought that his father was Andrew Bird b 1741 son of Andrew b 1716 married to Margaret Wortman and son of Thomas born 1677 or 1679 in Long Island NY son of Andrew from Long Island.Still looking for confirmation for most of this.In my earlier message I skipped a generation. The Andrew married to Magdelena Jones (Jonasson) is the son of Andrew Bird and Marie Brokaw and he is the son of Andrew from Long Island.Once again no confirmation but just stuff from various sources that I am looking for confirmation for.Especially interested on the parents of my Derrick b 1763.Have been told by several sources it is Andrew 1741 but yet to produce any real evidence. But Derrick named his first son Andrew and had a daughter Margaret (named for his parents/grandparents?) I have alot of info on desendants of Derrick down to me which is 6 or 7 generations.If any would like this info I will gladly share what I have.If anyone has info on Derrick please contact me.Thanks Phil
