There were not that many people here during the 1600’s, so the families that were here are possibly related to most of the population back then. I know I am. I’m even related to Hugh Hefner, whose family goes back to Gov. Bradford, as mine does, and probably the Bush family, and even the (ugh) president’s mother’s family.
I’m not related to any of them. I go back to a Jacob Urban who arrived here in 1753, fought in the American Revolution and moved to Pike County. You can watch every ten years in the census and watch the name move westward down the coal strip in Pennsylvania. Nobody is a relative of Obama, Bush or Kerry. Thank Goodness!
