James Ashbrook Voorhees b 19 Jul 1849 in Perryopolis, Fayette, PA m. Mary Jane Ingraham

I am searching for evidence linking my g.g. grandfather (James Ashbrook Voorhees ) b . 19 July 1849 in Perryopolis, Fayette, PA d. 09 March 1933 in Lansing, MI.

to his father, John Voohees b. 1812 in Ohio. m. to Susanna King

The 1850 census in Perry, Fayette, PA, shows:

John Voorhees , age 38 born Ohio
Susanna , age 24 b. in PA
Mary E. , age 2 b. in PA
Ashbrook Age 1 b. in PA

The research for the Van Voorhees Association suggested in 1999 a possible connection to Stephen Voorhees b. circa 1790 in NJ, m. Elizabeth Laughlin. He had a son named John who was born in 1812. He did move to Ohio where John was born.

Stephen's father, Jac.ob, who was born in Kings Co. NY, moved to NJ where his children were born and moved to Fayette Co. PA in 1803. Other son Isaac who married in Fayette Co. PA in 1810 moved to Scioto Co. Ohio. Son Jacob was married in Fayette Co. PA and moved to OH.

There is an Isaac, Jacob, and John in Jefferson Co, OH in 1830, but not sure if they were the same family.
