1. We have 1780 in 1780 Mecklenburg County, NC - he died in West Nottingham, Chester, PA in 1761 per his Probated Will.

I tried to find records for him in NC found absolutely none. Do you all think over time this profile was confused online? Once all of the documentation is found and uploaded for surrounding profiles, we may find it was a grandson named John or an uncle named John who died in Mecklenburg County, NC.

Conclusion: This man, John Criswell who married Jane Edmiston, who lived in PA died in PA,

* suggest we change his death to match the Probated Will info.

We will change to match unless someone can produce solid proof otherwise, aka paper trail.
