Samuel Klug (who was the second pastor of Hebron Lutheran Church)". He notes that this record is located in Frederick County Order Book 2, p. 238. Hopefully, you can get this record!! I hope this helps and let us know what you find! Barb Price Barb, This puts all three brothers in the Valley before 1743. Does the book mention if their father came too? I have been told that Hans Philip WENDEL did come and died in Shenandoah County. I have the following survey and thought that this may be him.
