HI, The records I have and supplemental I had approved were for Nicholas Sr. . Others had gone in on him and my documentation was accepted. I did work very hard and a long time on it. As for Johnnes (John) the notes I have from a paper done by a man in Gettysburg says he was referred to as the oldest son in his father's will and probably born in the mid 1840's. He was listed as a sponser for the baptism of a child in the Lower Bermudian Church on 21 June 1761 and again in 1764. He supposedly married Margreth Sherman but no record has been found. The Lower Bermudian records list the birth of Johann Jacob born Sept 23, 1783 baptized in 1783. The article say there is some indication her may have moved to Cumberland Co, PA. No record of death or burial was found by either John or his wife. This paper was done in 1987. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 26, 2000 2:18 PM Subject: Re: [PAYork] William Myers > In a message dated 12/26/00 4:50:29 PM Eastern Standard Time, > [email protected] writes: > > > I know this family was a real > > struggle.
