Of a later date is the will of Peter Conrad, Senior, pioneer, who
lived in Augusta township Northumberland county, and whose wife was
Magdalena. He evidently died advanced in years, and his will, made May
30, 1837, was probated June 12, 1837. The children were: Jacob, John,
Henry, Christian, David; Daniel (obtained homestead), Catharine (Mrs.
Wagner, deceased), Magdalena (married Samuel Kreager), Elizabeth (Mrs.
Kreidinger, who lived in French Creek, Crawford Co., Pa.) and Mary (Mrs.
Barger).
######################## OLD NOTES (now know she's a Steinbruch!)
My Dad has Peter's wife listed asa Krieger, but he can't remember the source. I
can't find any Krieger's in the area at the time and find the claim dubious. My
guesses would include:
- the people Peter had land dealings with - Hunter, Stinebrook, etc
- his neighbor and friend George Savage or his wife as a relative of hers
- she might bea sister of Peter's sibling's spouses. ie, Long, Hall, etc.
Since the son Daniel used the middle initial "P", one might guess it was for the
mother's maiden name (like common German usage at the time)
Some people have him as "Peter Christian Conrad". I've seen no contemporary
references to him by that name. It looks to me like someone tried
merging this Peter Conrad with a different Christian Conrad?Peter married Magdalena (Mattena) STEINBRUCH Abt 1790, Augusta Twp, Northumberland Co, PA.

Notes:
the name Anna Catharine is from the baptism at Reading (since Catharine would
be short for Anna Catharine in the German naming convention). She's mentioned
as just Catharine in 1799 deed.
Catharine signed by the mark "T" on deed L:122 of 1799 when
selling land to their daughter Susanna.
Jacob sold land to Nicholas Shipman in 1805 without his wife's signature, so
presumably she had died by then.
Someone sent me this (need to check my email inbin for source). Not sure if
it will match up:
"One thing he had was a maiden name for Jacob's wife. He has her as Anna Catharin Hinsberger with a question mark following the name. I don't know if he means the spelling maybe wrong or the entire name. She is listed as dau. of Georg Hinsberger and Elizabeth. He also has a father for Jacob, Peter which could be a good guess given how often Peter turns up in the early Conrad ancestors. He has Peter and Jacob being from Prussia."
A place on the net has this Jacob Conrad m Catharine Hinsberger, child Anne-Marie

Captain Wetherhold made a list on Dec 27, 1757 of all the people killed and taken
prisoner by the Indians west of the Lehigh river, in the townships of Lynn, Heidelberg,
and Albany, which totaled 56 persons killed and 10 taken prisoners. In this list
under the date Novemeber 1756, is given the name of Jacob Staynbruck as
killed and Boldis Yeager's daughter taken prisoner.
An account of this occurence was brought to Bethlehem, November 30th, 1756, that
"john Holder came here this Evening, ye 28th Inst. Three Indians Came to the House
of a Certain Man Named Schlosser, and Nockt at the Door, the People within called

time he got up and made off.
The above Holder informs me he had this Acco't from good authority, said Schlosser's

One would think that Jacob would have had more children between 1749 and 1756 with
his new young wife. Perhaps they were daughters and escape detection?
