Is there any chance that the following records are for a different Knerr family

would have been married in the Pitmanarea by this time.

Notes from Kalalena

Hi Tim,

The Stone valley communion registers and confirmations were located at the
Historical Society when Iwas in Sunbury years ago. But, it seems to me some of
the books were missingas I'd swear there was another volume when I was first there.

Confirmed - 12 June 1831

Isaac Knerr, aged 16 years
Abbalonia Knerr, aged 16 years [ wonder twins?? or cousins??]
Benjamin Witmer, aged 19 [ md. one of Michael gals]
Maria M. Michael, aged 17 years

Communion - 12 May 1833

Christian Michael
Johannes Michael
Benjamin Witmer
Magdalena Michael
Abbalonia Michael [she is now married!]
Catharina Michel

[ 34 men and 38 women communed that day]

Per Appellonia "Abby" (KNERR) MICHAEL'S Gravestone [ my Great-Great Grandmother] the age given calculates her birth to circa 9
March 1815. Thus, she'd only been a "child" when her father died!! I'm wondering if she & Isaac, Jr. were "twins" and simply "overlooked" her. (on genforum)

Description from military records: 5'6.5" tall, fair complexion, gray eyes,
brown hair.

Married by Jacob Hepler, according to Civil War pension records

Pension application was once denied for "vicious habits" during the war. He
was treated for venereal disease during the Civil War.

Family story: Charles left his wife after getting his pension for approximately 20
years, then came back to his wife. He and his wife lived with different families
membersat different times. The story goes that they eventually got back
together. They sat together on the porch at James Knerr's house and made
up. Then they spent their last few years together, living in a small house that
was then builtfor them on the property (near the creek?).

Charles also was to have survived the war, but got shot in (outside?) a bar on
the way back from the Civil War. I also heard the shooter was a rebel. When
Charles was around later in life, he complained of his injury, and according to
relatives, he would have hisgrandson Jack Knerr pick out the BB's that came
to the surface with a knife (so it must have been a shotgun wound).

It's odd that his pension applicationmakes no reference to either a wound or a
disability because of it. Probablysince there was no record in his service record of
a real war time wound, it wouldn't have done any good bringing it up. But clearly,
everyone in the family seems to have known that Charles was shot in a bar related
incident on the way back.

My Great Aunt Sue [Knerr] told me she had vague recollections of Charles. She
said the young boys would tease him but he'd say "you laugh, but people
will remember me..."
