Hello to all, I am hoping to find information regarding siblings and ancestry of Johan Peter SCHARMAN and his wife. Johan Peter, or "Peter" as he was known, was born 28 July 1778, and baptised on 2 Aug. 1778 at Cacusi or Hain's Reformed Church of Lower Heidelberg Township, Berks County. Peter's parents are listed as Johan and Catharine SCHAARMANN, and his grandfather as Johan Peter SCHAARMANN. Peter's wife was named Maria, and she was born 14 Jan. 1793. Her maiden name may have been SEITZINGER, as the 8 Sep. 1812 edition of the Reading Adler lists a marriage between a Peter SCHARMAN and Polly SEITZINGER. Peter and Maria seem to have resided in the Heidelberg Township area of Berks County for some time, and had several children. Two of their daughters married two brothers of the TEXTER family. Rebecca, born 1815, married John George TEXTER. Mary Magdaline, born 1821, married Henry TEXTER, a brother to John George. In the late 1830's it seems that the families all removed to what is now Beaver Township, Clarion County, PA. Peter and Maria SCHARMAN, George and Rebecca TEXTER, and Henry and Mary Magdaline TEXTER all settled in the Beaver Township area. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone with information or leads to information regarding my SCHARMAN ancestry. I do have a good deal of data on the descendants of George TEXTER and his wife Rebecca SCHARMAN, as they are my ancestors. I will gladly share with anyone interested!
