Valentine was b. 1730 probably in the Kingdom of Saxony in Germany, son of Johannes and _______ (prob. Frankenberger) Moser. the mother probably died in or shortly after childbirth with Valentine. Valentine had one sibling--brother Conrad b. c. 1728. The father and 2 sons immigrated in 1738 and settled in Oley Twp., Philadelphia Co. (this area became Berks Co. in 1752). The father Johannes died Nov. 1744 and John Frankenberger of Oley Twp. was appt. admin . of the estate and guardian of Conrad-16 and Valentine-14. Sometime between 1744 and 1749 John Frankenberger (AKA Frankenberry) and family, including his orphaned nephews, settled in Paradise Twp., York Co. They had all been Lutheran but Conrad and Valentine became Dunkards (German Baptist Brethern); not sure if John Frankenberger did. Probably Conrad's wife Ann (mar. by 1764) and Valentine's wife Juliana came from Dunkard families. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
