Additional Comments:
According to church records, the last name should be spelt Tunnicliff.  It is 
horribly mispelt over time.  Catherine Tunnicliff goes on to remarry with John 
Reading.  Before 1850 they arrive in Washington Co., OH to live for the rest 
of their lives.  After John Reading dies, Catherine remarries to William 
Greenway.  Catherine ? Tunnicliff Reading Greenway is buried in Bethel 
Cemetery along with John Reading and others.  Joseph Tunnicliff's will does 
mention his 2 sons but doesn't list or mention his daughters.  His daughters 
names were Mary A., Elizabeth, and an older daughter that I do not have a name 
for.  William Tunnicliff does marry in OH.  He is shown on one of the census 
with a wife and family in Washington Co., OH.  Joseph Tunnicliff is buried in 
the Ingomar United Methodist Church Cemetery in Allegheny Co., PA.  He 
originally was from Staffordshire England.  His tombstone shows the following 
dates:  September 15, 1796 - March 11, 1845.
