Sam and Pat . . . Thanks so much for putting this information up. I also noted the "DELLENBACH" surname again. Barbara DELLENBACH, sister to John Hershburger's wife Veronica "Franey" DELLENBACH, my 4th g-grandparents--Their son Peter HERSHBERGER and wife Anna BEACHY are my 3rd g-grandparents. Barbara DELLENBACH m. John Fike (Carolyn SHUPE's 6th g-grandparents). Carolyn also furnised the information on Elk Lick at that time that talked about John Fike having built the first gristmill in the township on the Casselman River, a mile northeast of Salisbury, PA (Elk Lick) . . . and Joseph Markley operated the first distillery, abt 1790. We also have Nicholas Mosser m. to Magdalena DELLENBACH (dau of Peter DELLENBACH). Per Carolyn SHUPE, she read that Peter DELLENBACH came to Somerset Co., PA from Dauphin Co., PA. Carolyn also suspects that Barbara's birth was abt 1750 as her first child was born Jan 1774. I've noticed many child brides in our history. That being the case, Barbara could have been as young as 14 when she had her first child (birth year would have been 1760 in that case).

Does anyone have proof that Peter DELLENBACH actually went to Somerset Co., PA from Dauphin Co.,PA? An article in the Mennonite Family History, dated January 1990 written by John B. BLYER, I quote. Resurveyed (on the 5th day of October 1796) for Jacob Graybill Administrator to the estate of Peter DELLENBAUGH decd. of the above described of 372 acres one quarter & Allowce of 6 P Ct. Situate in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County (late Lancaster & Returned By Virtue of a Special order the Board of Property Bearing date the 16th December 1796* *directing a resurvey to be made and returned in pursuance of a warrant granted to Valentine DELLENBAUGH dated 30th Jan. 1752. This article also states: Peter likely died in 1795, the year his will was probated in Londonderry Township(but is unavailable). In 1796 the widow (name unknown) appears on the tax lists. On April 5, 1797, his administrator and son-in-law Jacob Krebill settled Peter's estate. Footnote states: Dauphin Co., PA, Courthouse Mortgage Book E-1, pp. 155-156, Peter DELABACH. Unquote. I know I have read in some genealogies that he went to Somerset County, PA but I have never found any proof of that.
