The first wife of Wm. Nash was unknown until a friend of mine Bill Tyson gave me a copy of his family history. It shows that Wm. Tyson (born 3/26/1722, died 1/23/1810 was married to Alice Nash who's Mother was Magdalena Godshalk Nash and that Wm. Tyson and Alice Nash are buried in the Skippack Lower Mennonite Cemetary. It also states that Alice Nash died 2/5/1803 at the age of 80 years, 5 months and 19 days,This makes Alice b1723, d 2/5/1803. It also lists the children of Alice Nash and Wm. Tyson which I shall list under family of Wm. & Alice NASH. Magdalena's father. Rev. Jacob Godshalk was born in the village of Gog, in Holland in 1670.
