I find Leonard in Gingerich & Kreider as BK and listed with 2 Sons, BK1 is Jacob d. Dec 1763 Berks Co., PA m1. Catherine Saylor SL4145. BK2 Christian is listed as born in Switzerland in 1715 and also m. to a Catherine Unknown. These are presumed to be brothers because of side-by-side farms but apparently not proved. The problem is The Berkey Book edition 2 has what is sure to be the proper one is head of Line 3. This has him born in 1698. BK1 Jacob's son from an unknown wife is Christian Berkey, Sr. BK11 b. 1733 who married Catherine Saylor SL42 and her brother John SL41 married Christian Sr's sister Catherine BK13, I tend to think this is the correct information & the Jacob listed as Leonard's son is the wrong one. I have long felt too many Jacob & Christian Berkeys.___FEBerkey
