Diana, Elizabethtown and Mt. Joy are only six miles apart on PA Rt. 230. Since your Michael Brenner was born and died in towns so close together, you might presume his marriage took place in this immediate vicinity between 1802 to 1807 or a little later. The Brenner surname is German. In that area of Pennsylvania, you will most likely find records for the Brenners a Lutheran or a German Reformed congregation. If not in these two churches, the next most likely church in that area would be a Mennonite congregation. In addition to church records, you should also search for wedding announcements in the social columns of newspaper(s) that served Donegal Twp. and Mt. Joy Twp. during the first decade of the 1800's.
