Brad,
Thank you very much for responding to my query.I have checked the Martin Sidner line and it appears that they married into the Smith line after 1800.For this reason I began checking the Sydnor line.I know how the spellings of names varied during the 17th and 18th century.My Satcher line was spelled SOTCHER, SATCHER, SACHAR in parish registers from the 15th century to the 18th century.In fact one of the earlies reported spelling of the family from Lancaster Co is "Sidner".These recordings make it difficult to ascertain the correct lineage.
Family connections, such as neighbors, witnessing wills, etc. often provide a clue in determining family lines.Thanks again.
Horace
