Dianna, I have some info on Michael Brenner : Source: In the surname card file viewed at the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society 6/3/1999; source given as Mennonite Research Journal 1962, pg 36: Michael Brenner born 30 Jul 1782; died 19 Nov 1840; age at death 58-3-14; married [no date given] Susan ______ born 4 Dec 1794; died 7 Aug 1874; buried Krayhill Mennonite Cemetery. Lancaster Co Wills, vol S, book 1, pg 354: Michael Brenner, Mt Joy Twp near Florin; wife Susanna and son John; 140 acre farm in Mt Joy and Donegal child: Elizabeth married to Benj Musser child: John, the rest of my goods and chattels probated 21 Nov 1840. ======================== end of my Michael info ===== I don't have a marriage date for them but I have Susanna's maiden name as Hoffman, and unfortunately, I didn't list a source for the maiden name. Michael isn't in my Brenner line so I have very limited info for him. Could I please ask where you got the birth date for Michael of 12 Aug 1782 Elizabethtown as the Mennonite Research Journal listed his birth as 30 Jul 1782, no location. Also who were his parents?
