Registered surname(s): Carver, Eyler, Philips, Phillips, Reiter on May 26, 2008
Comments: The Philips line I am looking for comes through John Philips born in 1797 married to Mary Ann and lived in Amity Twp and later, Reading. He worked as a Wheelwright at Peter and Aaron Getz's blacksmith shop. He had 6 children that I know of, Ephraim, Samuel, Henry, George, Sofia, and Louisa.
Registered surname(s): Babb, Baer, Bap, Barnett, Depp, Gring, Hetrich, Hettinger, Hill, Keller, Koller, Kemmerer, Leininger, Long, Steffy, Stiely, Strunk, Waldschmidt, Weinhold on November 27, 2004
Registered surname(s): Christian on January 5, 2006
Registered surname(s): Reppard on November 28, 2011
Comments: My maternal grandmother's family were Reppards - spelling varies - from Northumberland area but I'm sure they are connected to Peter Repard and Margaret Rudi from Bucks/Montgomery Counties, which may have been Berks at one point. I have found too many coincidences not to be. These Reppards were Lutheran.It has been proven that they are not connected to Bryon Reppert's family.
I believe that second cousins married - Levi Reppard married Mary A. Moore, the great grandchild of Peter and Margaret via Peter Jr. and Barbara Gerling. Either their (P&B) daughter Elizabeth married a Moore or the daughter Mary married a Moore - spelling varies. I think one of these daughters married twice as Whitmore and Woodrow grandchildren are listed in Barbara's will. Mary and daughter Priscilla are listed on the 1850 census as Woodrow's living with a Renn. The Renns are connected to Levi's maternal side of the family.
I have contacted Montgomery Co. Historical Society to see if I can pay to find out who Peter and Margaret's other sons, Frederick and Jacob married and sired. I am proposing that one of them had a son Peter who moved to be with his uncle Peter in Northumberland Co. and married a Dewitt.I also contacted the Northumberland Historical Society but most of the material given were copies of material that my mother and sister had sent to them.
I just need one piece of the puzzle and everything will fall into place - I hope!
Registered surname(s): Braun, Brown on November 22, 2004
Comments: Montgomery's Annals tells of the old progenitor of this line in Pricetown, Ruscombmanor Twp., as a Jacob Braun. He supposedly had a large family. My brick wall is George Braun b 14 Dec 1764, according to his tombstone, son or grandson of that Jacob. He is buried in St. John's Cemetery in Pricetown near the NE front corner of the church.
