Matthias Kershner b. abt 1823

I am looking for descendants of Abraham and Catherina (Martz) Kershner.He was born ca 1797 in Northumberland Co., PA, and married Catherina 3 Oct 1820 in Pickaway Co., Ohio.From a note someone gave me is that they lived in Indiana, before moving on to Johnson Co., Kansas where he died ca 1870.The other point of interest is that Abraham's eldest brother (and my ancestor) was Mathias.However this family immigrated from Germany in the 1730's.I have not been able to find Abraham in a census, but I keep trying. The spelling of the Kershner name makes it more challenging. This may not help you, but the Johnson Co., Kansas, the name Mathias/Matthias, and the year of birth for your Matthias is interesting.
