It is titled: JOHANN HENRICH & ANNA CATHERINA ORTH OF YORK CO, PENN. FAMILIES OF THEIR SONS, ABRAHAM & HENRY, who came to Canada. Also of JACOB, Who stayed in York Co. Descendants of Abraham & Henry to 1989. This book says Johann Henrich Orth was born - Apr 6, 1749; died - Nov 7 1813, in Manchester Township, York County, PA. He is buried with his wife in Quickel's Cemetery, Zions View, Manchester Township, York County, PA about 6 miles north of York City. His tombstone was under name Ortt. His wife's, beside his, has name Orth. Anna Catherina - born - April 8 1750; died - Apr 20 1817 Her will # N-458, in English, list the names of her children. This book lists them as being from SEIGEN, WESTPAHEN, GERMANY with children: Elizabeth - 1767, Abraham - 1773, Catherine - 1774, Henry - 1777 and others. I found that marriage date on Ancestry.Com. They list Jacob Orth as the youngest son. His first marriage was to Elizabeth Eve Ilgenfritz who died after having Eve- Dec 1 1813, Elizabeth - Jan 2 1817. She died Jan 16 1818.
