I thought you might like to know that I read somewhere that Hans Hege and Hans Lehman were Henry's uncles that he and his sisters came to America with. I have even been to Casper Lesher's farm near Newburg, PA and have seen his grave on the property. His wife, Elizabeth, their son, David, and his wife, Barbara are also buried there. Pretty cool to find that. Which of Henry's children are you from? Lynn Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
