"Sandra, Could you check your CD 166 for St. James Episcopal Church for these additional marriages (below)? Any time is fine. I loved all the data on sources etc."

Nothing further for the family in St. James Episc. records....ditto for your Junkin folks...there were Coleman in the church, but not Mary Ann

However, I did find some other interesting things....this, from the private register of the Rev. John Cuthbertson, in Lancaster co.....he was a Reformed Pres. minister, and send from Scotland to minister to Scottish Covananters in America, in 1751. He also had congregations in Adams and York co...
Oct 14, 1751 - rode 11 miles to Octorara, married George McKown and Janet Kilpatrick, Lancaster co.
Then, later in his diary -
Aug 13, 1752, bapt. Agnes, d to Geo McGown, 12 years old (do you think that this Agnes was by the first wife, and baptized after his marriage to Janet, in 1751?...and, of course, the next 2 children were Janet and Geo's)
Dec 17, 1752 - bap. Moses son to Geo. McGown
Feb. 22, 1756, bap Alexander, son to Geo McGown
(These are the only bapts and marriages for McGowan, any spelling......1751-1791)
When looking for the others I'd try to find other Covenanter Churches/congregations/ministers. I found that my own family were Seceders in Ohio, (another branch of Presbyterianism), and knowing they came from PA, began looking for other Seceder churches, etc in PA....and, found them in York co, in the congregations of Robert Cathcart, another Seceder minister! So , the religious preference, especially an off "brand", can be a big help in tracing folks (Even though some of the children did not follow the faith of their parents and married in the Episc. Church and perhaps others, it's worth a try).
S.
This is the one you sent me previously:
1. Jane Junkins married JOHN MCCUNE 31 Jan 1776 in PA, Lancaster county (Source: cd 166 - Lancaster co PA, vol 3, pg 1695, St James Episcopal Church (Anglican).), 31 Jan -- John McKeown & Jan Junkin, license; son of GEORGE MCKOWN and JANET KILPATRICK. :IT]
I am looking for the other children of George McCown/McCune/McKeown/McCowan; George was married twice with one wife being Janet Kilpatrick and the other's name is unknown. Maybe I can find out which children were from which woman and the unknown's name.
1-John (see above)
2-Moses, no marriage info in my file
3-Alexander, mar. #1 Mary Ann Coleman, #2 Susannah Uncel (I have names only)
4-Joseph, mar. #1 Sarah __________, #2 (widow) Mrs. Mariah Redenbaugh
5-George, no marriage info in my file
6-Jane "Jean", no marrige info in my file
7-Mary, possibly one child named Agnes but no info on father or a marriage

Also, the other half needed would be Jane "Jan" Junkin(s) siblings' marriages:
1- Hannah, mar. #1 James Douglass circa 1769 (need date and his parents names,etc.), mar. #2 John McElvain/McElven/Mulvain/Mullvane/etc. circa 1776
2 - Mary, mar. Dr. Thomas Whiteside, (need date and his parents, etc.)
3- John, may have married an "Ann"
4 - Jane, married John McCune above and you've already sent me the data.
