From History of Northumberland County, pg 705:
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?

(who is Susanna? I doubt a daughter based on estate records. Rather, it's
likely a child of a sibling/cousin helping out.
Notice out of order ages, as in kids listed first, then others).

Christiana's land was passed on to Henry (Harry) B. and Benjamin B.
See Deed book TT:373.

1827 poor tax, $45 or $2.68 (probably the latter)

sp - 1819 Peter Conrad and Juliana Wilhelm (wf is Catarina !?)
sp - 1829 John Zimmerman and Magdalena

The reasons for placing Henry here are:
- Henry fits here age wise (consider Peter's will to mention kids inage order)
- Henry died owning the same land described as given from Peter tohis son Henry
in Peter's will
- the 1830 census record for Henry, s/o Peter,match this Henry's family (while others don't)
- the 1820 census (Jr) probably refers to "Younger" in this case, not s/o Henry
- Henry the elder (s/o Jacob Conrath) had a son Henry born much later
- Henry doesn't fit in to the otherfamilies

So I have no doubt he is the son of Peter Conrad

Note how old Henry and Christina are when they are married. Perhaps she or both were marriedbefore? But the estate records don't seem to show any other decendents.

Probably a daughter also. At Stone Church "daughter of Henry Conrad, stillborn,
died/buried 18 aug 1827"

I still see a daughter Susanna showing up as a child of Henry. But she's not mentioned in the estate records, so I doubt that the Susannah from the 1850 census is a daughter of his. Especially the part where Susannah married Daniel Zartman. Daniel shows up in the estate records when Henry died, but as an unbiased neighbor when checking the property. If he was really a son-in-law, he wouldn't be unbiased and wouldn't be evaluating the land for his brothers-in-law. If he did marry Susannah, and she was a Conrad, shewasn't a daughter of Henry. - note - found Susanna Conrad w/o Daniel Zimmerman, buried at Lantz, 8/1/1817 - 6/6/1901 (still not a d/o of Henry in my opinion)

Henry married Maria Christina BASTIAN Bef 1820, Augusta Twp, Northumberland Co, PA. Maria (daughter of George Michael BASTIAN and Susannah BOLLENDER) was born 21 Mar 1792, Penn Twp, Snyder Co, PA; died 11 Dec 1858, Lower Augusta Twp, Northumberland Co, PA; was buried Emmanuel Lutheran (Old Lantz) Church, Lower Augusta Twp, Northumberland Co, PA.

In the Conrad plot is a Parker Grub, 22 Nov 1890-8 Feb1891, buried 9 Feb at Pomfret Manor. Also recorded in Henry's Bible. Perhapsa child of daughter Margaret?? (her father dec'd and she was 19 years old). but Henry's will of 1895 calls her Margaret Conrad, and she's living at home then. That would also match the fact that a cousin thought Parker buried in the Conrad plot was "Aunt Maggy's child". Or perhaps an illigimate child of one ofthe sons??

Northumberland County Democrat, 28 Nov 1895, page 1
Our Lively County Seat

Sneak thieves entered the kitchen of Henry B Conrad's residence,on 435 Fairmont Ave, East Sunbury, Tuesday night. They stole several coats, apair of shoes, cakes and a few other articles. Charles Barnhart's house on Reagon St was also entered the same night and a number of articles were carried off. It is thought that the same thieves committed both robberies.

cemetery is also called IOOF cemetery in Centralia

Info from Mine Inspector Report, Schuykill Co Historical Society

David was killed on December 10, 1909, at the Centralia Colliery
of the Lehigh ValleyCoal Company. He was married and left a widow
and 6 orphans.

He was employed as a "headman" at the colliery. The circumstances
of his death were that he was under a "gunboat" (a large iron mine car
which travels from the mine tothe top of the breaker with 10 tons of coal).
He was oiling the wheels on thegunboat when suddenly it moved backward
crushing him beneath it. The gunboatmoves up and down a slope or
incline from the mine to the top of the breaker by means of a cable attached
to an engine in an engine house some distance away. Apparently the
hoisting engineer was unaware that David was under the gunboat and
released the brake.

(collected by Tom Dempsey)

David married Martha J. HEIST 29 May 1893, Sunbury, Northumberland Co, PA (License 4619). Martha was born 11 Aug 1870; died 23 Jun 1932, Centralia, Columbia Co, PA; was buried 26 Jun 1932, Odd Fellows Cemetery, Centralia, Columbia Co, PA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

"Aunt Maggie" was to have had the child Parker Grub, buried in the Conrad
plot and recorded in Henry B Conrad's Bible. I think this is the Aunt Maggie in
the story. Note that the will of Henry calls her Margaret Conrad (in 1895)
soit would seem that she hadn't actually been married then.

Could she have possibly married Harry Grubb instead? One is living in
Philly in 1900 (married 5 years, but no wife listed). No, see note under
Parker Jr, which has a newspaper reference to Parker being a son of Parker [Sr]

She was to have lived inPhiladelphia on Diamond? St??
