Please note. This one might belong to another line of Berkheisers. There's a friendly dispute going over this. Rick South Bend, IN 14. JOHAN PETER3 BERKHEISER (PHILIP2, WILLIAM1) was born 9 April 1781 in PA, and died 10 March 1864 in Schuylkill Co. PA. He married MARIA E. "CATHARINA" (RADENBACH) RADABAUGH, daughter of JOHN RADABAUGH and CATHARINE WERNER. She was born 16 January 1781 in Berks Co., PA, and died 7 December 1851 in Schuylkill Co. PA. Notes for JOHAN PETER BERKHEISER: Nicholas' probate records indicate that Catherine's married name was Berkheiser and that her heirs lived in Pennsylvania. Catharine died sometime after her father's will was written (1841) and before he died (1850). St. Paul's Lutheran Church records in Schuylkill County show that Catherine and Peter were sponsors at a baptism in 1835. Memorial History of the Powell Family and Others, by Rev. John Powell (1880), indicates that Catharine's husband's first name was Peter. The 1790 Pennsylvania Census lists just one Berkheiser (saw no other obvious spelling variations), page 30, Berks County, Brunswick and Manheim Twps. - Philip Berkheiser 2-1-4; this is probably the entry for the father of Catharine's husband. Catherine and Peter's children were all baptized at St. Paul's (Summer Hill) Church in what is now Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Catherine's parents were also members of this church.
