1) I am interested if and how John Torr of Etna Furnace near Philadelphia West Jersey, yeoman, relates to Jaboel Torr of Scrooby, Nottinghamshire (Notts), England, UK, please?

2) Also if any link to TORR of Hatfield, Yorkshire, or that locality in Yorkshire, please?

I noticed that Jaboel Torr, of Scrooby, Nottinghamshire, in England, UK, was a Quaker and his Daughters:-

Phebe TORR married James BUCK

Rebecca TORR married Thomas DOEG.

Ann TORR of Stockton (Daughter of Jaboel and Mary TORR of Scrooby, Notts) married John ROBINSON of Stockton, Durham (Son of William and Sarah Robinson of Kirby Moorside, Yorkshire).

Thank you, Mark

Thanks Haines

Managed to find some Births now at Scrooby, Nottinghamshire:-

1739 Rebekah Torr Daughter of Jaboel & Mary Torr of Scrooby.

1740 Joseph Torr the Son of Jaboel & Mary his Wife at Scrooby.

1742 John Torr the Son of Jaboel & Mary his Wife at Scrooby.

1745 Ann Torr the Daughter of Jaboel & Mary his Wife.

1746 Phebe the Daughter of Jaboel & Mary Torr.

Looks like possibly their Son, John Torr, possibly at Etna Furnace, Philadelphia, West Jersey.

It seems Etna Furnace, can be spelt Aetna Furnace too, if I have found the right place.
