The gold mine is a paper that lists all his children and their birthdates. Here's what I found out: Conrad left a widow, Esther, and there are 11 children listed. The paper is in German and the writing is extremely difficult to decifer. The children were born between 1741 & 1760. Here's what I've figured out so far: child 1, b. 27 Jun? 1741; Abraham, b. 14 Mar 1742; Jacob, b. 28 Mar 1744 (my line); child 4, b. 8 Jun 1745; child 5, b. 2 Jan? 1747; Moses?, b. 16 Nov 1749; child 7, b. 1751; James b. 24 Jul 1753; Sofia, b. 27 ? 1755; Catharina, b. 30 Sep? 1756 and Elizabeth b. 2 Jun 1760. There is another Conrad in the same area who died in 1762. Based on some of the posts I've seen, I can't help wondering if smoe people are getting these two Conrad's mixed together. The only child I can give you any further information on is Jacob, who married Catharine Kamb/Kamp, daughter! of David. The following children were baptised at Trinity Lutheran Church in Reading: Abraham, 1768 Elizabeth 1774. Georg David was baptised at Zion Lutheran Church (AKA Bethel Church in Greenwich Township, Berks Co, 1776. Another son, Johannes (John) was baptised at Zion (Moselem) Lutheran Church, Richmond Township, Berks Co. in 1790. About 1796 Jacob Frey/Fry and it appears that many of his grown children moved with their families to Union County where they met and became followers of Jacob Albright. The family then became involved in the Evangelical Association, producing several ministers in that tradition. Eventually, my direct line ended up in Lancaster County by the 1850's, settling in the Mount Joy area. I hope this helps. If you find any information on my Conrad, please let me know!
