There is a Froelich family in, I think, the 1700's and 1800's at Killinger's Church, Dauphin Co., Pa. I found them in the family search section of the LDS site. I don't think they're related to mine, but they could be. I haven't researched them. The Revolutionary War Associator lists in the printed Pennsylvania Archives, while not a census, is close to a census for 1776-1785 time period. They are lists of men in each township who would be drafted as/if needed. Besides Dauphin Co. I think there was a Froelich in Northumberland and/or Lebanon. It's been years since I took notes on this and they are buried somewhere, I know not where. I don't know if the Associator lists would include Loyalists or Conscientious Objectors. I do have some family with no further record. They just disappeared. I'll have to dig them out and post them when I have time.
