I am a direct descendant of James Widney and he did not come to Pennsylvania.At least not the one who was married to Mary Wilson.They both died in Ireland.My direct ancestor is their daughter Margaret Widney who married William Williams.We have some pretty detailed information on our website on myfamily on the Widney family.There is also a book from the Ross Co., Ohio Historical Society about Margaret Widney, William Williams, Samuel Williams and Margaret Troutner.Margaret's biography gives details about her parents.The biographies were written by Samuel Williams detailing his early life and his parents.Margaret's brother raised the brothers and sisters and became very instrumental in the spreading of the Methodist Church both in Ireland and Pennsylvania.They settled in Path Valley, Franklin Co., PA.
