  Note:
  The first known location in America for the Archer family was in Greene
  county, Pennsylvania around 1774. It was written in "The Tenmile Country and It's Pioneer Families" by Howard L. Leckey.
  
  The Archer Family settled east of Fort Jackson about 1774, taking up land in the vicinity of the old double bridge at Morrisville. Captain James Archer was the first to come here. He went back over the mountains and convinced his father to come out with him.
  Patrick Archer, the father, brought with him the whole family, consisting of five sons and three daughters ... during the troublesome days the Archers played an important part in the defense of the frontier, with at least one son giving his life in the struggle against the Indians."

  Note:It is believed that Patrick Archer came to America as a General in the British forces prior to the Revolution. He joined the rebel forces as a General during the Revolution. Patrick is buried in Bruton Parish Church Yard in Williamsburg, Virginia.

  I've been working on this line for 25 years and have pushed it back
  to 1759 in Frederick Co., Maryland and have an 80 page manuscript
  fully documented on Patrick and two of his five sons (James and
  Joseph). If you let me know who is your diret line, I can help.
