I am trying to find Becker in the 1790 and 1800 Census in Berks Co. but can only find Baker which is close, want your opinion on if they could have spelled Becker as Baker, my other family names in these censuses are spelled very close to the expected spelling. I am trying to find the parents of Daniel Becker b Dec 21 1797 in Berks Co. died Nov 18 1859 Alsace Twp. He is one of my direct ancestors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Michelle, In Will abstracts 1800-1825, there is a John BECKER, Windsor, who died intestate, and letters of administration were given to sons John and Daniel on 9/4/1823. Also a Daniel BECKER witnessed will of Christian KAUFMAN, Upper Bern, on 1/19/1821. Could either of these work for your Daniel? Who did he marry? Diana in AL audianaq@msn.com
