among widow and all the families and guess what - they decide it
can't!! Page 351 has a nice map of the property showing creeks)

Note: I still have slight reservations on having Peter in Samuel's family. That is,
knowing that Peter and Abraham bought land together makes me wonder if they
aren't in fact brothers. But then where would they fit??Iit seems they both came from
Oley Twp. Henry Schreckengast was the wife of Esther Yoder, d/o George Sr.
5/28/05 - no problem, Abraham is just his brother who went back to Berks!
OC pg 349 mentions:
wife Catherine.
Children:
Sarah m David Stein
Hannah m John Wolfgang
Maria m Geo. Hartlein
Catherine m Benj. Neyschwinder
Antony
Solomon
Jeremiah (died intestate leaving 11 children-- Joseph, John, Charles, Peter, Jacob, Nathan, Catherine, Elizabeth, Anne, Caroline, Ely
Other possible children, maybe died young? or children of brother Abraham?
