In the Christopher Sower newspapers in Germantown, October 16, 1750, there is still
further information relative to Heinrich Christman:
"Heinrich Christman, linenweaver, from a place two hours from Taerbach aus dem
Callenninger Kirchapiel, arrived in this country 8 or 9 years ago with his family.
This year his sister Maria Margaret and her husband Anthoni Graeber, a smith,
arrived in Conestago where they are with Johan Nickel Zerrfass, near Ephrata
Cloister, and they seek news of Heinrich.
In the Staatsbote, Philadelphia newspaper, dated December 13, 1774, there is
