United States of America / James Crossett, died Nov 27, 1927 in Durham, Bucks Co., Pennsylvania
« on: Yesterday at 22:35 »
James Crossett was born in Ireland on Dec 25, 1827 as per his death certificate in Pennsylvania, his daughter Martha Engle being the informant. This dob does not agree with the various censuses. In 1920, his dob is 1830.

In 1910, he is age 75, so born 1835. https://www.rootschat.com/links/01scz/
In 1900, his dob is Oct 1834. https://www.rootschat.com/links/01sd0/
James is known to have married Catherine Vorhees Sept 8, 1874 but his previous marriage may have been to Nancy Kennedy Sept 7, 1858. This prior marriage is likely as James had a son John abt 1861, Thomas abt 1870, William abt 1865 and Mary abt 1867. There are no parents given when a James Crossett married Nancy Kennedy. https://www.rootschat.com/links/01sd1/
Likewise, no parents given when James married Kate Vorhees but he is age 39 so born abt 1834.
https://www.rootschat.com/links/01sd3/ Seems most records say 1834ish.
James' father was John but there is a difference of opinion as to James' mother. There is a tree which says Mary which I don't believe, largely because John was a widower when he died in Ireland in 1878 but Mary supposedly died in 1879 in PA. Another says mother Annie Foster which is possible, in my opinion.
Would there be an obit which might help with this family? Thanks for any help
