On this topic, I believe in the past few years there was an issue of the
Hunterdon County Historical Newsletter (or whatever it's called) that listed
HC families who removed to Northumberland County, PA. Since Columbia and
Montour (and perhaps others? Union? Snyder? - not my area of expertise)
were at the time you're discussing still part of Northumberland, you might
want to write for a copy of that list.
