William and Samuel Witherspoon in western PA

Is anyone researching the family of William Witherspoon who came to US about 1790 with atleast one brother Samuel, settled first in Wash. Co., then on to Beaver and Lawrence counties? William Witherspoon was my gggggrandfather. His son John (my ggggrandfather) lived in Frankfort Springs PA and built a home which is still standing. I've read that the home was built in 1813 but from my research John didn't buy the property which the house sits on, until 1859. Also, John's son Calvin is buried in a cemetery in Raccoon State Park (as are John and his wife Margaret Kennedy). Apparently a park ranger kept some notes regarding the graves there, and he made a notation that Calvin was the son of "John Martin" Witherspoon. I'd never heard of that middle name before. Is this info. of interest to anyone? I hope so...please get in touch.
