I haven';t seen any relationship stated for John and Conrad and Valentine, but the fact that John was a 26 yr. old single man, appt. admin. of Johannes Moser's estate and guardian of 2 teenagers, points to a close relationship. Have you seen any record that specifically states John Frankenberger is their uncle ? I find it very odd that we can't find any record so far on Conrad ebefore his purchased of land in Frederick Co., Md. in 1764 when he was aged abt. 36, or for Valentine before his purchase of land in Frederick Co. in 1771 when he was 41. So far nothing in Frederick Co., Md. or York, Lancaster or Berks Co., Pa. There has to be some record someplace. Steve Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
