Hello Diane, list:

Hazel Sheehan of Reading, PA began a search of a DAVIS family from Hunterdon Co. (our shared ancestors are George and Hannah (DAVIS) RUNYAN.)

Our DAVIS family were Quakers (Hazel found some references to the family at the Quaker archives at Swarthmore College.) I don't know if they have marriage dates in their Minutes, but they sure were upset at the September 08, 1791 Kingwood Monthly Meeting that "Hannah Runyan formerly Davis had gone out in marriage before an hireling priest with one not in profession with friends..."

It's worth a shot, I think. Incidentally, Hannah (DAVIS) RUNYAN had a brother William, born December 23, 1764. I do not know what became of William, but Hannah's family and her parents Joshua and Elizabeth DAVIS migrated to Columbia Co., PA in the mid 1790's.

Does anyone have access to church records that would include Lambertville,
Hunterdon Co? for the mid 1790's? I don't know what denomination but I am
looking for marriage records for a William DAVIS and ??? and possibly their
children's births.

Thank you in advance for any light you can shed on this family.
Diane in CO
