Thanks for the info on the founding of Cresson, PA.I have no record of any Richard Cresson alive around 1850 but will follow up.Right now I'm looking for the Penna. Railroad records that cover naming of stations.As to Patrick Cresson Munn, if he came from Ireland perhaps his ancestors were among the many Huguenots who fled from France to Ireland.Cresson is a common name in France and the Phila. Cressons are descended from Huguenots so that might be a line for you to consider.Do you know what church his family belonged to?Os Cresson
