Johann Peter was baptized in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1773. He was not born in Tennessee which didn't exist at that time.

Pitsenbarger-135 and Pitsenbarger-9 appear to represent the same person because: Clearly meant to be the same man. German naming traditions usually gave all sons the same saint's name as a forename, the second name was the one they were actually called by.

Pitsenbarger-9 and Bitzberger-4 are not ready to be merged because: Based on sibling birth dates and location there is an obvious error in the data. Could be legitimate but I doubt it.r
