Classification: Query
You seek the parents of Abner H. HEATON, a blacksmith, b. 7 Feb 1810 Philadelphia, father born PA. Abner married 29 Oct 1832 Lower Makefield, Bucks Co., PA Elizabeth HEATON daughter of William HEATON b. 20 Oct 1809 Westhoughton, Lanc. Co., England and had 3 children most likely born Bucks Co., PA. Abner had a sister, Sarah who married Amos HEATON, brother of Elizabeth. So, it appears that two Penn. Heaton siblings married 2 English Heaton siblings, perhaps first cousins. Heaton is an uncommon name. Francis Murray of Bucks County was a famous, public figure who adopted Joseph Heaton a.k.a. Francis Heaton Murray son of Patience Heaton. You give no clue to a connection to Patience Heaton beyond the uncommon name and the nexus of Bucks County, but those clues indicate to me that with appropriate effort (e.g., a professional genealogist) you will find a solid connection. By the way, all indications to me were that Francis was a Presbyterian and his brother John a Quaker; Quakerism seems to have been on the decline in that era.
