In a message dated 98-09-18 18:43:54 EDT, you write: << I believe when I questioned you about Margaret being John (the elder)'s wife, I had never heard a wife's name mentioned, and stated he had a daughter, named Margaret, born 1730, who marr Abraham Lawsche (1732-1819), he being born CRAYFELT, PRUSSIA, DOMINION, GERMANY. Abraham Lawsche and Margaret Bechtelheimer had children: John of PA, Henry, Jacob, Abraham, Ann and Margaret. Which was stated to be the same names as her father's children. Much of the material we found was taken from the "A History of East Amwell 1700-1800, publ by Hunterdon Co.Historical Soc, Flemington, NJ" and from "German Sectarians of PA, " by J. F. Sachse. (the later material being sent me back in the 80's, by a Leatrice J. Harpster of Silver Springs, MD 20906, who was a descendant of Nathaniel & Diadema of Clermont Co, OH, as were 2 other researchers, Ruth Erhardt, Ruth Burdge?. >> John Tippet, on my genealogy that's on the webpage please omit Margaret as the wife of John Beckelshammer/Bechtelsheimer. Thanks, you're doing a first rate job. Deanna
