Hello Jane Baskin Reed,
I am Elaine Ebersole Long,granddaughter of Raymond McGinnes Baskin,son of George Baskin & Ada Adora McGinnes.George was son of Robert Baskin and Sarah Mitchell.Ada was daughter of John McGinnis and Sarah Ann Ditty.John was son of the John McGinnes and Sarah Baskin you were asking about.According to BASKIN(S) by Raymond Bell, p.42, the father of John McGinnes m to Sarah Baskin, was James McGinnes, Sr. and his mother was Mary Cochran.James McGinnes died 7 Jan 1804 and Mary Cochran McGinnes died 25 Aug 1805.They are both buried at Hill Church Cemetery, Watts Twp.,Perry Co.,PA.I have seen where they are both buried.By the way, this is also where John and Sarah Baskin McGinnes are buried.Unfortunately, Raymond Bell, has only speculation about Sarah Baskin McGinnes's father's name.He believes it was John Baskin and that John died in Ireland.He has no guess about Sarah's mother's name.
I am curious about where you fit into the Baskins and McGinneses.I also noticed that your married name is Reed.I have several Reeds in my family tree through several different branches and wondered if your husband might be related to any of them.
I hope this information helps you, and that maybe we can share some more info.
