Biography

Peter was born around 2 Nov 1727 in Untergimpern, Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany.^[1]. He and his family arrived in Pennsylvania in 1733^[2] and later moved to Frederick County, Maryland.

Peter appears several times in the records of the Evangelical Reformed Church:

• Peter sponsored the baptism of his brother Frederick's son Peter on 28 June 1749.^[3]
• In 1753, Peter and his wife Catherine sponsored the baptism of Johann Peter, son of Elias and Albertina Brunner.^[4].
• Peter and Catharina's daughter Elisabeth was born 20 March 1753 and christened later that year.^[5]
• Later in 1753, Peter and Catharina sponsored the baptism of Johann Martin, son of Peter and Anna Schaeffer^[5].
• On 4 September 1757, Peter and his wife sponsored the baptism of Peter, son of Jacob Schnautigel and his wife.^[6]
• On 18 Jun 1758, Peter and Catharina sponsored the baptism of Catharina, daughter of Paul and Dorothea Leschhorn.^[7]
• Peter and Catherine's daughter Catharina was baptized 29 April 1759; the sponsor was Catharina Schefferin.^[8]

Peter wrote his will on 3 December 1807; it was probated on 8 August 1808. The will names wife Catherine; daughters Elizabeth Fahner and Catherine Line; sons Conrad, Solomon, Peter, George, and Andrew; and granddaughter Polly Moxley (not yet of age). Conrad was named the executor; the witnesses were Belt Brashear, Jesse Wright, and William Ballenger.^[9]
