***************************************
William Lathrop Jr. was born in a cabin alongside Wyalusing Creek near present day Rush, which at the time the area did not yet have a formal name as it was unsettled wilderness and a large northern portion of Pennsylvania was simply called "Luzerne County". William's father (William Sr.) had moved to Pennsylvania from Unadilla, New York as a young man with his wife and daughter Catherine. William Sr.s' mother and stepfather, Ebenezer Whipple, as well as his oldest brother Ezra and his family, had also moved to Pennsylvania, but the exact date is unknown other than it was before 1800 and perhaps as early as 1790.

Over the next 20 years as William Jr was growing up, his father built the first church in Rush, the "Rush Baptist Church" (now defunct) who also served as its deacon and elder of the small congregation. William Jr. became its first pastor.

William Lathrop Jr. married Sybil Lathrop from the neighboring township of Bridgewater in Susquehanna Co., PA. She was his 4th cousin once removed. Sybil's brother Ezekiel III also married into the Dea. William's family by marrying William Jr's sister Lorinda.

The lineage comparison:

(Husband) Rev. William Lathrop Jr. < Dea. William Lathrop Sr. < Ezra Lathrop Jr. < Lt. Ezra Lathrop Sr. < Samuel Lathrop III < Samuel II Lathrop < Hon. Samuel Lathrop

(Wife) Sybil Lathrop < Ezekiel Lathrop II < Ezekiel Lathrop Sr. < Israel Lathrop Jr. < Israel Lathrop Sr. < Hon. Samuel Lathrop

[note: Hon. Samuel Lathrop was the son of famed Rev. John Lothropp who spent time in a London prison for preaching the Gospel and was given a pardon as long as he agreed to leave England and never return. So he loaded up his children (his wife had died while he was in prison) and took the first ship to America which was shared by many of his previous congregation in England as well as the famed Anne Hutchinson and became one of the first ministers in the country. Rev Lothropp started the First Unitarian Church of Scituate (about 20 miles north of Plymouth Colony along the shoreline of Massachusetts Bay), then left after several years over a dissention in the congregation about their pastor baptizing by immersion in the local freezing waters. So he took half his congregation and started a new community they called Barnstable about 40 miles south of Plymouth Colony, also along the shoreline and built a new church].

Rev. William Jr. and Sybil Lathrop had several children including:

1) Cyril Peck Lathrop b. 1821
2) Anna Lathrop b. ca 1828
3) Davis Lathrop b. Nov 28, 1831 m. Elizabeth Yonker (had son George W. Lathrop b. 1859/1860) d. December 9, 1862 (lost his life in the Civil War as a Union Soldier - Co.D, 141st Infantry Regiment, PA Vol.)
4) Daniel D. Lathrop b. ca 1834 m. Emma Handrick
5) Eunice Lathrop b. ca 1836
6) Sarah "Sally" Amanda Lathrop b. ca 1839 m. George Overpeck
7) William Riley Lathrop III b. ca 1841 d. April 3, 1863 (lost his life in the Civil War as a Union Soldier Co.D, 141st Infantry Regiment, PA Vol.)

William and Sybil moved to the neighboring county of Bradford and settled in the township of Herrickville.

Although William was interred in the Overpeck Cemetery by his wife, his headstone is missing or deteriorated beyond legibility.
