PA. I may have seen the name in the early records of the Moravian Church. The church kept excellent records and the members were asked to write memoirs which were read aloud at their funeral service. They are a great wealth of information. Most of these records are kept at the Bethlehem Moravian Church Archives, in Bethlehem PA. They are in the process of building a database. Many of these folks migrated to Stark Co., as did my relatives -- the Casslers. Good luck in your search. Gail Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
