Direct lines the married into were Boyd, Ritchie/Ritchey;
Penny,
My ancestor Uriah Henderson came from Fayette Co PA to Putnam Co Ill.Also in Putnam Co Il was a Andrew and George Henderson.Andrew married Hannah Dixon and George married Margaret Findley.This George and Andrew are said to be related to our Uriah Henderson.My mom while on a genealogical trip to Putnam Co Illinois met a woman who was sexton of the Granville cemetery and who professed her delight to have met part of the family.She didn't know just how the Henderson connection went but said they were indeed related.She provided us with detailed Henderson information and some of the information included the Findleys.This included a David Findley Sr b 1761 in Belfast Antrim Co Ire.His father was John Findley and his mother was Mary Boyd.David Findley Sr married Jane (Janet) Ritchie who was born in Westmoreland Co PA.John Findley d at Linn Co OR, and David Findley d at Clackamas Co OR.
John Ritchie was b 1756 in Cumberland Co PA m Nancy Carmichael and the children were Jane (Janet) Ritchie, Mary Ritchie, Mancy Agness Bolton Ritchie, Adam (Sandy) Ritchie, John Ritchie, Isabella Ritchie.
I don't know how all this figures in with your Surnames but there must be a connection
