I have two sources that might help. One was in the Perry County Historians holdings. It was an anniversary book and shame on me I neglected to put the name on the pages I had copied. One section was on Greenwood Township and included facts and folklore of Millerstown area pioneer days. The other is an article by Jerry A. Clouse, founder of the Perry Historians. the article was titled "The German Element in Perry County" and includes the Pfoutz Valley. The article was published in the periodic publication of the Pennsylvania German Society, Der Reggeboge (The Rainbow). I'll have to check what issue it was in. Both give some good all round information of the area and when I get a chance to read them again I'll look for Miller and Troutman.

According to my research, Alexander MCALLISTER was born on 10 Oct 1748/49 in Edinburg, , Scotland.1 He appeared on the census in 1810 in London D.., Dauphin Co, Pa. Page 034. Data fields contain 2-4-2-0-0-2-1-0-2-0-0-0. Can't tell for sure if this is "our" Alexander or not. He appeared on the census in 1820 in Halifax, Upper Paxton Township, Dauphin Co, Pa. Page 148. Data fields indicate 1 male <10, 1 male 10-15, 2 males 18-25, 1 male >45, 2 females <10, 2 females 16-25, 1 female >45. To me, this data looks like it fits the Alexander and Elizabeth Oldenberg that were married in 1797. He was buried in 1826 in St. Peters Fetterhoff church, Halifax, Dauphin Co, Pa. He died on 10 Feb 1826 in Halifax, Upper Paxton Township, Dauphin Co, Pa. Lived in Dauphin County, Pa at time of daughter Catherine's birth. Information by Dorothy Temple cites Evangelical Lutheran Church (Campbellstown, Pa) records, Elizabeth's grave stone, and records of St. Peter's Fetterhoff church records. Dorot! hy says that Alexander has a DAR flag by his grave in Row 8. Alexander's will is found in D#412, Dauphin County. He was married to Elizabeth OLDENBURG (OLDENBROOK) (daughter of Daniel? OLDENBURG (OLDENBROOK)) in May 1797 in Campbelltown, Lebanon Co, Pa Evangelical Lutheran Church. Elizabeth OLDENBURG (OLDENBROOK) was born on 12 Aug 1773 in possibly Philadelphia. She was buried in 1853 in Aspen Grove Cemetery in Burlington, Des Moines Co, Ia. She died on 20 Apr 1853 in Burlington, Des Moines Co, Ia.
