I found this bit in a book. Hope it helps: "Henry Petry married Elizabeth Wehrly(May 31, 1774-Feb 8, 1852), the daughter of Henry and Katherine Moser Werhly of Codorus Township. Although Henry and Elizabeth migrated to Ohio, they did live for a number of years within the bounds of the Little Conewago congregation. This family consisted of the following known children: Michael(Sept 29, 1791-April 25, 1857) who married CatherinePfoutz(1800-1881) Catharine(March 17,1803-May 10, 1880) who married Nicholas Bucher(Feb 29, 1803-Jan 24, 1889) Henry(1804-Jan 8, 1898) who married Elizabeth Sanger(1803-1866) Elizabeth(April 11, 1810-Oct 7, 1895)who was married in 1829 to David Miller(Oct, 1799-April 25, 1877) Mary(Aug 2, 1812-Jan 23, 1852) who married 1) Martin Garber (May 13, 1803-May 18, 1852); and 2) David Kinsey( - ) whom she married on July 29, 1852" Hope there is something there that helps!
