To Judy: I have been researching my STRAUB line for 25 years and cannot find enough evidence to show that the Peter STRAUB who is listed as coming to the Colonies in 1733 is truly my ancestor. I do have many records which prove that John STRAUB, born in the 1700's, died 13 Jan 1824 is my Great-Great Grandfather. In the land records I found that Andrew STRAUB, a real estate salesman sold land to John. Whether or not they were brothers, I can not verify. Andrew and his wife Barbara did sell hundreds of property over the years of the late 1700's and early 1800's. Most of the records are in Centre County, PA. The St. Peter's Church, of Freeburg, PA records say that the Andrew to which I have reference died without having children. In my database I have no Edward STRAUB listed. There were some STRAUB's who came from Germany in the 1850's and 1860's. They are listed in some books containing passenger lists. The George, well-documented son of Peter of 1733, did have a grandson, Benjamin who went to Indiana in 1870. That information is in the Snyder County Historical Societies records in Middleburg, PA. Any of the names that I have from the late 1800's were from Snyder, Union, Northumberland and Montour Counties in PA. Sorry that I have no better information for you. Shirley STRAUB MORTON
