    3. Seeking any info available on my KEISER ancestors: Peter Keiser, Jr. (1759-?) and wife, Gertrout, (1759-?) with children, Solomon, Peter, and Johann George, came to Beaver Township in 1801 from Macungie, PA. He owned 150-200 acres near Beavertown, and tax records show he was there thru 1820. Whereabouts from 1820-1830 are unknown. Peter, Jr. may have died in 1829 and may be buried in area. Solomon Keiser (1786-1877) purchased 222 acres of land just east of Freeburg in Washington Twp. in 1830. His children: George, Sophia, Rebecca, Lewis, Lydia, Washington, Leah, Levi and Solomon. His wife: Mary (Anne Maria) (1791-1858). Rebecca married a BABB. Daughter, Sophia, married a GLASS and had John Glass, Henry Glass and Lydia Glass. Sophia died before 1872. Daughter, Lydia, married a TYSON. These daughters stayed in PA. The rest of the family left the area for Uniontown, Ohio in 1832. Solomon and Mary died in Ohio. In 1874 the rest of the line moved from Ohio to Maryland and settled in the Bethesda-Rockville area. Any information on any of these people while in Snyder County would be greatly appreciated, and will exchange information.
