Peggy - Thanks for your reply. I have Eye's book on Rexrode. It exemplifies the problem I face in that it gives the birth year of George Rexrode as 1760 and then presents other information that seems contradictory. What I am trying to find is an official source for George's birth year. All this is complicated by the fact that baptismal records from Pennylvania give birth dates for children of Zach and Anna Maria both before and after 1760, but George is not included.
