I am seeking any and all information on the DERBYSHIRE family:

John DERBYSHIRE married Elinor MCGREGOR ( now I do not know if they married in England or Pennsylvania) I think that John and maybe Elinor came to Pennsylvania about 1729 from England, so far have not found them on a ships list yet.

Son of above John DERBYSHIRE B: 1734 married Mary RICKEY B: 10 October 1734, 23 November 1761 Lower Makefield, Bucks County, Pa.

An elderly cousin had this research done years ago and am trying to enlarge the data, as the person only did a direct line, more or less. Surely the elder John and Elinor MCGREGOR DERBYSHIRE had more than 1 child, even if they never made it to adulthood.

Where might I write for wills and land deeds in the County? I am planning on a trip to this neck of the woods and would love to find the home place and hopefully where some of them are buried, and maybe a cousin or two (even if they are 10 time removed).

Any and all help and information would be much appreciated, thanking everyone in advance,

Jacie Ailes-Runyan
