Although, we have only been able to find one of his children, and haven't been able to prove which ones are children of Peter. My Peter was born on 11 Dec 1703 in Switzerland, and married Magdalena (last name unknown). They arrived on 27 Aug 1739 on the Snow Betsey and settled in Donegal Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (near Elizabethtown). Peter was a Mennonite Minister and farmer. He and his wife purchased a parcel of land from the William Penn Estate and built a church, Reformed Church, and later in life gave the land to the church. Peter and his wife had a son, Christian Blasser I who was born about 1748/49 in Pennsylvania. Christian and his wife had 7 children: Anna Barbara (b. 1772), John Peter (b. 1773), Catharine/Catherine (b. 1775), Jacob (b. 1780), Elizabeth (b. 1783), Christian II (b. 1784), and Matthias (b. 1785).
