I saw the mention of Weiss. Do you know whether your relative is related to Christopher Weiss/White (1793-1867) and his brother, Philip? I believe that they came out of Montgomery/Philadelphia County before arriving in Centre County in the early 1820s. They lived in Potter/Gregg Twps. in Centre Co. with Philip moving on to Mercer County, PA by 1840. Christopher moved to Sugar Valley in Clinton Co. where he died in 1867. Philip's wife was Elizabeth (Johnston?). Christopher was first married to Sarah ______, who died by 1830, and second to Susannah Kern (1803-1875), the widow of Johannes Geiss. He was the father of, among others, Hannah (White) Schreckengast (1818-1886) of Booneville, Clinton Co., and John R. White (1819-1884) of Gregg & Walker Twps., Centre Co. I have found an early Christopher Weiss/White family in Montgomery and eastern Berks Co. with names that match, but can't make any solid connection. Looking forward to hearing from you.
