David we are 2nd? cousins.I agree with much of your information.You seem to leave out one generation.Archibald Kearns,b 1809, PA,father of Hiram and Archibald Jackson Kearns, M.D. etc. was the son of Thomas Kearns, born in PA in 1784.Thomas was the son of the first Archibald Kearns of our line on this continent.He is the mystery fellow who was in the British Army and deserted sometime after Bunker (Breed's) Hill to fight with the rebellious colonists.We think he married a woman named Margaret Ramage (sometimes Rumage) in Scotland before shipping out to America???Lots of speculation and unknowns.Want to work with you on all of this.Are you acquainted with your Whipple ancestry??Please write to me at [email protected] Kearns
