Thanks Patricia! I had not considered that analysis.I am aware of the Duvall lines.I agree it is possible that Elizabeth Rickets was born in PA (I think Peter Rickets may be from the DE/PA area, and the lines between the states were very "blurred" in the 1700's; I do not think her husband Jacob was born there though (the census says he was) as he was descended from the Maryland Duvall's.Hardin, of course, is a prominent surname in KY, with a county by that name.It's certainly worth a try. Thank you!
I have always found it interesting that there were 2 totally unrelated Duvall families who ended up in Nelson/Bullitt counties around 1800.
