Son Richard's Baptism Cert New Jersey 1754

This just gives:
"free white males 16 years and upward= 1
and 4 boys under 16 / free white females including head of family=2 --Total=7"

The farm they owned was "near the waters of Tenmile Creek," Morristown, Washington County, Pennsylvania

Plenty of documentation that states Richard's father was Abraham...And
there is a Birth cert that gives Abraham's father as Abraham (1685)

Gravesite Details

:NOTE: The family owned property in TenMile so the chances that they were buried at the nearby church is good, but not proven... but then it has been 230 years for grass, weeds and dirt to cover the headstones.)
