And since Archibald moved his family to Ohio in 1816, he could not have fathered anyone born in

Pennsylvania after that time, so, Archibald is not the father of the John McAninch in Rimersburg

(John, born 23 Feb. 1821, Pennsylvania, married Isabella Walls, ca.1845, John died 26 Apr. 1902,

 Isabella died 18 Sept. 1908, both buried Rimersburg Cemetery, Rimersburg, Clarion County).
