    In the Christopher Sower newspapers in Germantown, October 16, 1750, there is still

    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
    further mention of the family:

    "Johannes Dieter on Christopher Christman's plantations behind the Blue Mountains".
