Ok My Landis Family is out of Indiana, and I have reached a point of confusion, not that I can't find them, but that there are several, apparently unrelated with very similar names. I KNOW I am descended from Delilah Landis. She Married Moses Peffley. She is reputed to be a daughter of John Landis, and Sarah H. Burket, and Delilah has a sister named Sarah Landis. This information is likely accurate. John is reputed to be a son of Christian LandEs. Here is where the confusion sets in, there apparently in the same area at the same time was a Christian Landis, a Christian Landes, and a Christian Landers. Taking into consideration the variations of phonetic spelling, I would normally say that all three were the same person, or possibly cousins, etc. A researcher sent me Christian Landers' will, last year, and I can rule him out, I think. Here is what I have, tenetively in my files, source:The Peffley- Peffley-Pefley- Families in America and Allied Families published in 1938 by May Miller Frost. OK here it is: Descendants of Sarah H.
