I ran across your message while reading the
Makemson board. My gggg mother Elizabeth
Makemson was married to my gggg father John
Mcpherson before 1798 whwn son Robert was born in
Virginia. My ggg father Joab
Mcpherson, married Nancy Hand, daughter of
Cornelius Hand of
New Jersey, was born in 1807 in Tuscarawas Counnty,
Ohio. The Mcphersons and
Hands came together to
Whitley and
Kosciusko Countiies around 1850. According to the county histories of both counties Elizabeth
Makemson Mcpherson died in
Tuscarawas County,
Ohio before they moved to
Indiana. John
Macpherson was 91 years and 8 months old whwn he died in 1851. Other sons were George and John
Mcpherson. The
Kosciusko Co., history said he was the son of
Capt. John
Mcpherson of Philadelhia,
Penn, who died with Gen. Richard
Montgomery at Quebec, Canada December 28, 1775.
I would like any information on who theiir parents and place of marriage.
I would appreciate it, as I have been looking for a long time.
