The Orphan Court listing actually shows the birth order of the females also. The first spouse of Peter Witmer was Elizabeth Herr Brubaker, a widow with four children. Thier children together were Christian (whose son Peter was the petitioner in the OC records), and Elizabeth (w/o Michael Crow). Elizabeth Herr Brubaker Witmer died at or soon after childbirth with daughter Elizabeth, at age 32. The second spouse of Peter Witmer was Magdalena Shellenberger. Thier children were Magdalena, w/o Christian Hoover (Huber), Peter Witmer, Mary, w'o David Myer (she died at age 28, leaving daughter Elizabeth). Magdalena Shellenberger d. at age 42 in 1764. The third spouse of Peter Witmer was Catherine Engel. Their children together were; John, Anna (w/o Christian Frick), Henry, Catherine,(w/o John Eshbach) Abraham, Jacob, David, Christina (w/o Christian Stouffer), Esther(w/o Daniel Herr), Barbara, Daniel, Susanna, and Frena (Veronica).
