To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" A Lancaster County Orphans Court record dated September 8, 1781, refers to Peter BROWN, Magdalena married to Jacob BALMER, Mary married to Conrad RUDY, and Christina married to Mathias ANGEL, all of whom were once minor children of Martin BROWN deceased. The will of Catharine BROWN, which was probated on December 30, 1784, mentions the above children plus Eva married to a SHILDNECHT, previously married to a SHAFFER, Margaret married to Christian BALMER, and Elizabeth married to Adam DILLER. The above children therefore belong to the Martin BROWN who arrived in 1738. Jim Ensinger ************** Stay up to date on the latest news - from sports scores to stocks and so much more.
