Hello Mr. Merz, I found your Sat. 28 Sept 2002 message to Kathie Ludwig and would like to know where the letter about how Karl was introduced to Magdelen Kneisley can be found. I have researched his records in Bedford Co. PA. in 1787. The time period from his desertion June 23, 1778 to 1787 is a blank. Can you refer me to a source of further information? A Brethren newsletter mentioned York and Lancaster Co. PA but I have no verification. Ron Pancner
