BIDDLE, Ransalear (other spellings of his name include Rensellaer,
Ransalear, Rensalear, Ransler, Rensler, and Ranselen)
Ransalear was born 10-Jun-1803 or same date in 1809 and died 16-Nov-1877
in Cecil Co. He married first Mary EGNER (b 1-Jul-1811, d 10-Jun-1843)
and they had children Jacob Thomas (b 1833) , George Coombs (b 1835) ,
Charles, and Mary Elizabeth (b 1840). Interested in ancestors and
descendants of this family.

BORLAND, John, b 1828 in PA, son of Abraham BORLAND (b 1774-76, Ireland
and d 24-Jan-1857, DE). John married Mary Elizabeth BIDDLE (dau of
Ransalear) on 20-Jan-1859 in Cecil Co. There is one known daughter of
this couple: Mollie Duella (b 1-Feb-1860). The descendants of this
family are well documented. The mystery is what happened to John. In
18-Jan-1872, Mary Elizabeth marries second David T Devlin (Mary was his
3rd wife). Did John die or run away? Was John ever married to Mary
Elizabeth, since her obituary lists her first husband as "Theodore"?
The 1900 Census lists a John BORLAND, b Dec-1828, married 20 yrs, born
in MD, father born in Ireland, mother born in MD. This John is married
to the former Amanda ALEXANDER, whose first husband was Matthew BORLAND,
John's brother. See the following Web page on John
