I research the KAES surname in Hunterdon Co. >From an issue of "The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey" (date and number not known - possibly the references at the end of the quoted material indicate such): quote Peter Aller of Amwell, apparently born abt. 171-; d. abt. April 1778; md., prob. betw. 1735 and 1745, Elizabeth Kaes (Case), dau. of that Johan Philip Kaes of Amwell who was natuaralized in 1730; she was living in 1773. This marriage took place well before 1752, so that he could not have been the Johann Peter Aller who reached Philadelphia Sep. 15, 1752, as conjectured by Chambers. (NJW:349J, 1055J; CEG:230, 285; Strassburger's Penna. Pioneers, I:479). He was one of the ex'rs of the will of J. P. Kaes, and was sworn at probate in 1756, but in filing the accounting in 1772, he was affirmed, while his co-ex's was sworn, which perhaps indicates that he had adopted the Quaker faith in the interim. (NJW:349J). His will May 17, 1773-Apr. 17, 1778, names three sons (Peter the eldest) and seven daughters, at least four and perhaps all of the latter being unmarried. He left his plantation in Amwell to his son John, who sold part of it in 1809, the deed indicating that it was next to the German parsonage. (NJW:1055J; HuD 16:145). unquote >From Bryan T. Schneider <[email protected]> Peter is the son of Petrus Alert (born in about 1680 in Germany) and Maria Alt (born in about 1680 in Westfalen, Preussen, Germany).
