Antrim / Erskines in Antrim
« on: Friday 06 January 06 04:22 GMT (UK) »
I have been told that I am descended from Thomas Askey (Askins, Erskine) who was born between 1727-1730 in Antrim. He married Elizabeth Baker in 1764 in Cumberland Co, Pennsylvania, USA and died in 1807 in Centre, Penn, and is buried in the Lick Run Presbyterian Cemetary. One of his son's, William, my gggrandfather used all three surnames until retaining the original Erskine. He apparently was the only sibling who chose to call himself Erskine--the others retained the Askey name that his father used after first arriving in the US. Anyone know anything about a Thomas Erskine born around 1727 in Antrim? Marie Sue
