My first ancestor to touch these shores (that I've found so far) was Nicolaus Adam and wife Juliana Schweikhardt Adam who arrived in 1727 from Germany. Their daughter Christiana Adam wed George Puderbaugh in 1756, their daughter Maria Puderbaugh married Adam Burget in 1785, their son John Puderbaugh Burget wed Catherine Benner in 1809, their daughter Elizabeth Burget married John D. Frederick around 1836-37, their son Henry B. Frederick wed Barbara Clapper between 1870-75, son David Clapper Frederick was born 1891 and wed Grace H. Calhoun around 1915-17. Their daughter Mildred, my Mom, wed Eugene Gibson in 1945 in Michigan. I'm stuck on John D. Frederick's parents, Adam and Sarah Dressler Frederick of Curryville 1810 or so, my dad's great grandfather Abraham Gibson b. around 1820-1835 (Duncansville?), and grandfather William Weir b.1837-8 Scotland who immigrated in 1887, he's found in 1900 census in Blair Co PA with new wife Mary Keiper, 2 daughters, 5 Keiper stepchildren and new baby Ruth. I have a collection of obits, many of them Leaders and Gibsons, that I will begin posting soon. Happy hunting in 2003!
