Subject: James Mcvay,Jr. and Sr.

Hello. This is my first time on this mailing list. I have been doing alot of research on James McVay Jr, born 1786 in Washington County, PA, died in Fayette Cty, Ohio in 1859. He married Keziah Marshall, born 1787, died 1860.

No marriage date has been found thus far. I suspect they or James's father (James McVay Sr; born 1754 on Phil.) married out of faith--converting from a basis of Presbyterianism to becoming Quakers.

Does anyone have knowledge of these persons?

I am really looking for marriage dates for Jr and Sr McVay and for a will by James McVay Sr. that might list needed info of his children's names and his wife's name.

In addition I have been looking for James Sr. land lot but did not find it in the Horn papers. I know they were on the 1780's Amwell Township tax lists.

Is there any Quaker resource for these questions? I have been studying this for two years and am drawing blanks so I thought I'd pursue the Quaker realm. I have much information on the family to share.
