Notes for GEORGE KOERNER:

Most descendants were born on George's original homestead off Devils Hole Road. "Black Hole Rd." lies east of what is now Mt.. Pocono, Pa. It intersects with Pa. State Route 940.. Other Koerners settled nearby and a road holds the ancestor name of Koerner. The original homestead close to where Koerner road intersects with Devils Hole Rd is the location.. Facing west at this intersection, one would turn right, or north, going a very little distance, the lane to homestead is on the left.. The property was a 40 acre parcel which somehow Hattie Koerner and Wesley Segear acquired from George Koerner.

In the early 1990's the property was acquired by the Wesley Family from, the former owner Tom Custard Family. The original barn and spring have been somewhat restored. The original homestead house either deteriorated and fell down or was destroyed by fire. The foundation and chimney still exist..

Sixteen children have been accounted for, but it is reported (hearsay) that George and Catherine (Utt) Koerner had 22 children.. Local folks also said that Catherines mother was native American.. Elizabeth Utt's maiden name was Overpeck, which is German. Possibly Elizabeth Overpeck's mother was native American.. The Native Americans where always on the Koerner farms and it is reported as late as the 1940's that they were still coming on the Koerner farms and taking farm products..

Catherine died in the 1918 flu epidemic..
