This is my first posting on this List and I am hoping there are others on here researching the names of HAUSER, RHORER CUSTER, GARVER/GARBER, KEISTER/KESTER Please contact me for exchanging information on the above names Thank you. Church of the Brethren historian, Elder Merle Rummel, shared this information with me: At Tates Creek Church, west toward Wilmore, KY, was an early Brethren Church under Elders Abraham Houser and Jacob Rohrer of Antietam, MD About 1802 Elder Abraham Houser moved on to the Olive Branch Church (Ohio River on Bullskin Creek, near Felicity, OH) Toward the end of the Revolutionary War and after the Iroquois Indians had suffered enough damage that they withdrew to the north (back to New York and Canada -late 1780s), settlers began to move north along the Susquehanna River. A major Brethren settlement was in Penn Valley (including Brush Valley) in Northumberland Co PA, now far eastern Centre Co. Some of these families moved on to Kentucky and were early in Ohio (c1800).
