Hi Steve, More thoughts on your Andrew KOHLER. That Andrew b. 1795 in York now Adams County has to be the son of Andrew and grandson of Andrew the immigrant. You said: <<I have a little more information on my Andrew if anyone needs it.>> Yes I'd like to know what happened to Andrew III. I do have a lot of information on Andrew II's brothers and sisters but only Andrew II's son Jacob marriage with two children. This is the writeup I wrote for Andrew II: According to the 1790 Census Andrew was living in Manchester Township, York County, PA. The household included 1 male over 16, Andrew himself; one male under 16 years of age, Jacob at age 6; and 3 females, Margareth his wife, Maria Catharina at age 2, and Elisabeth just born if census was as late as September. The Census act was signed on 1 March 1790. The children, Jacob, Maria Catharina and Elisabeth were baptized in Quickel Lutheran Church, Mt Zion, Conewago Township, York County, PA. This is just across the township line from Manchester Township. After the 1790 Census and before November 1795 it appears Andrew moved to the Hanover area, York or Adams County, where his son, Andreas was baptized at St Matthews Lutheran Church in Hanover, PA. They most likely moved to Adams County. The Tax records from 1809 to 1818 has an Andrew KOHLER in Conewago Twp, Adams Co, PA, owning 9 acres. In 1816 he was listed as merchant. Andrew died on April 3, 1825. He was buried at St Matthew's Lutheran Cemetery, Hanover, Penn township, York county, PA. His burial site is recorded in the Revolutionary War Graves Register of the Sons of the American Revolution. Here are some notes on Andrew II: TAXES: P.A. 3rd Series Vol 21 1781 Single man, tax 2.5.0, Manchester Twp, York Co, PA p375 1782 Single man, tax 3.0.0, Manchester Twp, York Co, PA p503 1783 Single man, no property, 1 inhabitant, Machester Twp, York Co, p683 1795 Berwick Twp Andrew KOHLER 2 cattle 2 horses val. 196.10.0 tax 3.1.0 CENSUS: 1790 Manchester Twp, York Co, PA: Males: 1 16 upward; 1 under 16; 3 Females p274. 1800 Census he is not in the York or Adams Co SCPGS Spec Publications. -------- Codorus Chronicles Vol 2 No 4, Rev War Veteran's Grave Register: "Andrew KOHLER b. 1761 d. 3 Apr 1825. Pvt Capt KOPPENHOFFER's Co. Buried in St Mathew's Lutheran Cemetery, Penn Twp (York) PA." ------- His birth date computes: 3 Apr 1825 - (64y 5m 5d) = 29 Oct 1760 vs 28 Oct. I suspect the person figuring his age used (5d 5m 64y). I suspect they knew what day his birthday came on, 28 Oct. therefore I left it 28 Oct. ----------- Philip KOHLER on Berwick Twp, Adams Co, Pa TAX 1814 through 1818 Andrew KOHLER in Conewago Twp, Adams Co, PA TAX 1809 through 1818, owned 9 acres.

It would be worth while to check Andrew's to see if he refers to son Andrew out west some place.] Regards, Gene SMith, Pasadena, CA gsmithsan@aol.com
