I have Johanne Gamber being Christian's father. Johanne had 50 acres surveyed in 1751 in Bucks County. Tax record from 1760 shows his farm to be in Maiden Creek Township of Berks County PA In 1767 still in Maiden Creek property was 70 acres 2 horses, 3 cows, 3 sheep. His tax bill was $.80. In 1775 Johanne deeded his land and possessions to his oldest son Christian. From 1775 - 1780 Christian was in the militia that was led by George Washington. In 1780 Christian left Berks County and moved to Tyrone Township Cumberland County. Anne Gamber Luupfer also lived in this area. Could have been his sister. Christian stayed in this area for 20 years. He built and operated a saw mill. At the close of the 18th century he moved to Mount Pleasant Township in West morland County. Not long after arriving his youngest son William was born 8-30-1798 Westmorland County. William is my 3rd great grandfather. Christian's wife Margaretta died sometime between 1800-1820. He moved one last time to Alleghany township which is 35 miles northeast where he married at the age of 80 a Mary McCutcheon who was 70. They were married more than 10 years when he died sometime between 18300-1840. Mary then went to live with Christian Jr. That all I know. Are you the Nancy that belongs to Jerry & Doris from Mondovi??
