Jo, we need to talk. I have a bunch of Fordyces who connect to my relatives including my French and Clark ancestors. But I've only entered the connecting Fordyce, James Fordyce, Jr. b 17 Sep 1782 Amity, Washington, PA Died Miami, Ohio who married Lydia French b1777 Essex, NJ m Jun 1802 Amity Washington, PA, d1860 Miami, Ohio. While I suppose there could have been two separate Fordyce families who moved to the Washington PA area, it's unlikely, The James Fordyce above had a father James b 18 Nov 1756 Ireland. Maybe we can find the the connection to the group you're working on.
