Notice Andrew married Margaret Elizabeth Alwine daughter of Samuel Alwine and Susan Stormbaugh/Stormbach Also, Mary Yake, which I think is a sister to John Francis Yake who married Anna "Annie" Mary Alwine. Also, there are Adams County Hemler's married into the Hermanus Arnold and Catharine Allwein descendants. So I think somehow all three wifes are connected some how. The only one I know of is Margaret Alwine. Does anyone have any information on this?
