Brother #3 Philipp Lechler, age 24 in 1816 based on 1798 census, deceased 1816

Note A footnote in the 1834 census says that the surname Lechler is probably Legler. All names of primary brothers and sons matches with the Legler family entry in the 1798 census.

The line with his name on in in family #301 stating that he was deceased appears to be an error. He is listed in family #332 along with his son Jakob Friedrich,age 13, but with no wife. It's possible that it was his wife who died in 1824 but the census records attributed the death date to him instead. Both census entries for families #301 and #332 are show below.
