Brecknock Twp. Tax Records:
Thomas Segner, 1759, 1778-1781, 100A

Melchor Segner, 1781-1789+, 100A [inmate '85+]
1767: Berks County Tax Lists:
Brecknock Twp.: John Thomas Segner, blacksmith,
Note: It appears the land went from father Thomas, to son Melchior, to brother Thomas.
QUESTION: Did Thomas, the father, die circa 1781? His son Melchor's marriage record identifies him as deceased. If so, the Thomas Segner whose LWT was proven in 1794 is his son. Must verify that two Thomas Segner's existed.
The surname appears as Sechler, Segner, or Sigler--there may be other combinations starting with Z.

David Davies received land in Earl tp. from his father Evan [who had the original warrant in his name]. The connection with the David Davies in Caernarvon tp. and Amity tp. is based solely on his wife's given name, which is uncommon in the region at that time.

David Musselman Family of Hempfield tp.
Hempfield tp. tax records:
David Musselman, 1751-1763, 200A
David Musselman, 1770-1783, 250A
Christian Musselman, 1773-1777 (freeman '73-75; junior '76; listed twice '76) [see Deed R394; later presumed to be in Warwick, then Manor]
ANALYSIS: David Musselman of Hempfield tp. received his father's plantation (see Christian Musselman's last will & testament dated 29 June 1734). David was not taxed in 1726; therefore, one might presume his date of birth circa 1706-1713. Deed Z415 states that David Musselman died intestate leaving two sons, David & Christian. Deed U134, in which Christian releases his right & title unto his said brother, confirms only two heirs. There is no reason to suppose any other children.
Curiously, David, Sr., does not appear in intestate records or the intestate index. He signed a 1766 release for his brother Peter's land (see Deed M3-542); however, he does not appear in 1769 tax records. A death circa 1767-1768 is presumed. Both of David's children can be followed definitively in deed records. Son David is included in the analysis below. See Christian Musselman of Manor tp. for the other child.
David Musselman moved to Bedford (now Huntingdon) County circa 1784. He was murdered by a robber in January 1787 while traveling between Camp Hill and Carlisle. See Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage, January 1789, p. 21, for proof of migration and death. The researcher indicates that estate records prove David's migration, marriage, and murder.
MARRIAGE EVIDENCE:
This indenture proves the spouse of son David Musselman, Jr.:
AA-456: David Musselman, yeoman, & his wife Barbara of Hempfield tp. [she being a daughter of Daniel Neff, deceased, late of Manor tp.] rel.to Henry Neff [eldest son of said Daniel Neff, deceased]

NOTE: The last will & testament of Christian Musselman, dated 1734, bequeaths a plantation to his son David-subject to paying equal shares to the other heirs. Patent A-11-441 will likely identify the 194-acre tract delineated hereto as originally surveyed to the said Christian Musselman.

DIDIER MARCHAL
« Diderich Marchal, 29 ans » :
Un bon candidat serait en théorie Didier Marchal, né le 5 12 1706 à Waldersbach de Marchal Jean-Jacques et Bernard Marie-Salomé ; pas d'acte de décès au Ban de la Roche ; x Sara Banzet le 9 9 1732 à Waldersbach .
Cependant, j'hésite fortement à faire, du Didier Marchal du Ban de la Roche, le Diderich Marchal de la Princess Augusta. En effet, un Bandelarochois est en principe protestant. Or, nous trouverons des Marchal en Amérique à Pigeon Hill, dans ce qui est en principe une colonie catholique. Mystère, mystère …
Cependant, à toutes fins utiles, j'indique ci-dessous l'ascendance du Didier Marchal du Ban de la Roche :
Généalogie de Didier Marchal : 1 Marchal Didier ; 2 Marchal Jean-Jacques ; 3 Bernard Marie-Salomé ; 4 Marchal Dimanche ; 5 Loux Dimanchette (Mougeotte) ; 6 Bernard Didier ; 7 Caquelin Catherine ; 8 Marchal Nicolas ; 9 Steff Odile ; 10 Loux Nicolas ; 11 Christmann Christine ; 12 Bernard Jean ; 13 Millan Catherine ; 14 Caquelin Didier ; 15 Vonier Marguerite ; 16 ? ; 17 ? 18 Steff Etienne ; 19 Charpentier Catherine ; 20 ; 21 ; 22 ? ; 23 ? ; 24 Bernard Dimanche ; 25 ? ; 26 Millan Nicolas ? ; 27 ? ; 28 Caquelin Nicolas
Généalogie de Sara Banzet : : 1 Banzet Sara ; 2 Banzet Jean ; 3 Verly Anne-Marie ; 4 Banzet Christophe ; 5 Neuviller Jeanne ; 6 Verly David ; 7 Becker Barbe ; 8 Banzet Jandon (Jean) ; 9 Apfel Marthe-Anne ; 10 Neuviller Jean ; 11 Thon Marie ; 12 Verly Jean : 13 Stoll Christine 14 ; Becker Pierre ; 15 Eichelberger Véronique ; … 20 Neuviller Joseph ; 22 Ringelsbach Anne ; 23 Thon Jean
Dans l'hypothèse où Didier Marchal ne serait pas du Ban de la Roche même, il importe de noter que ce nom et ce prénom sont très courants dans la région.
Didier Marchal meurt vraisemblablement pendant la traversée. En effet, noté malade sur une des listes du capitaine, il est absent de la liste d'immigrants finalement soumise à l'approbation de la Cour.

From 1886 History of Cumberland County:
JOHN SHOPP, retired farmer, near Shiremanstown, was born July 6, 1794, on the place where he now resides. His farm is one of the original tracts, called "Manington," for which a warrant was granted May 17, 1767, by Thomas and John Penn. After but two intermediate transfers, it was purchased, September 20, 1774, by Ulrich Shopp, grandfather of our subject, and has continued in the ownership of the family ever since. Ulrich Shopp left, inter alia, a son John, who married a Miss Annie Hershey, and they had eleven children: Elizabeth, Magdalena, Christian, John (our subject), Sarah, Samuel, Jacob, Annie, Fannie, Catharine and David. They were a long-lived family. Magdalena died when a child, David in his seventieth year, and the others at ages ranging from eighty to eighty-nine years. John is the sole survivor. He was born in the small log schoolhouse which now stands near St. John’s Church, one-fourth mile from his farm, but which at that time was near the site of his present residence. He followed farming until about twenty years ago, when he retired, and has since been engaged in no special active business. He has long been an active member of the United Brethren Church, the first edifice belonging to that denomination in the neighborhood having been built on land which he gave for that purpose, together with sufficient ground for a grave-yard. In January, 1841, he married Nancy, daughter of Martin and Fannie Nissley, of Dauphin County. She died July 7,1841. March 16, 1843, he married Louisa, daughter of Rev. John Crider, who was born October 11, 1806, near Chambersburg, Penn. They had two sons, one of whom died in infancy; the other is J.H. Shopp, Esq., of Harrisburg, who was born January 20, 1850. He was educated at Dickinson College, from which he was graduated in 1872. Afterward he read law, and was admitted to the bar of Dauphin County, February 9, 1878. In 1881 he entered into partnership in the practice of law with Hon. David Mumma, one of the prominent citizens of that place. April 8, 1884, Mr. Shopp married Alice M., daughter of George Cunkle (deceased), formerly of Harrrisburg. The elder Mr. Shopp has a singularly bright recollection of matters pertaining to the early history of this section of Cumberland County, covering the greater part of the present century, and communicates his recollections in a clear and entertaining manner. Throughout his long life he has ever borne the reputation of a man of unblemished character, and has had in a large degree the esteem and respect of his neighbors, who hope to see him live to the full measure of a century. | Schopf, Ulrich (I17627)

From another researcher (and for consideration):
Description: Elizabeth Behm/Beam actually married Samuel Foltz, born abt. 1792. He and Elizabeth resided in Blue Ball in 1860 according to the census, and he is listed as a master tailor. He died after 1860; one source say he died in 1865. There are some sources that say he moved to Ohio, but oral family history does not confirm this, so I am not sure. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there on him. One of their sons was Samuel B. Foltz (with B. possibly standing for Beam, but I have not been able to verify this either). Samuel B. was born in 1824 in Lancaster County, married Mary Yohn in 1848, and died in 1910 at Terre Hill, Pennsylvania. Mary Yohn's father is unk Yohn, and mother is Catherine Styer. Catherine's father was Frederick Styer of Caernarvon Township.
Don't know that you should take my word for it, but I'm pretty sure about Elizabeth Beam marrying Samuel Foltz. | Fuchs, Samuel (I46227)

History of Hancock County, Ohio: containing a history of the county, its ...
By Robert C. Brown, Warner, Beers & Co. (Chicago, Ill.)
CONRAD RENNINGER, farmer and stock raiser, P. O. Findlay, was born in Cumberland County, Penn.,May 22,1809; son of Conrad and Catherine (Switzer) Renninger, natives of Pennsylvania. In 1854 the subject of this sketch, having previously been connected with the commission and forwarding business in the East, came to this county, engaged in farming and improved 160 acres of land in Liberty Township. He had married in his native place Miss Christiana Atticks, who died in this county December 11, 1874, and is buried in Maple Grove Cemetery. Of their family William occupies the old farm in Liberty Township, this county, and has two sons and three daughters: Catherine, was married to William Lytle (she and her daughter are both deceased), Elizabeth died while young, Henry is a farmer (he has a son and a daughter), Jane, wife of Dr. T. G. Barnhill (they have one son, Samuel, who carries on the home farm and, by his marriage with Ada, daughter of August and Dora Polz Armbrecht, has one son and one daughter: Reginald and Carrie). August Ambrecht, a native of Berlin, Germany, died in Andersonville prison, Georgia, during the war of the Rebellion. Mrs. Ambrecht was a native of Hanover, Germany. The subject of this sketch has always held a modest position in public affairs, but has served with credit on the school board of his district, and on Findlay Township Board; was also infirmary director for three terms. He is public-spirited and progressive, and contributes liberally to all worthy projects.
SAMUEL RENNINGER, capitalist, Findlay, was born in Cumberland County, Penn., May 14, 1816, son of Conrad and Catherine (Switzer) Renninger, natives of Pennsylvania. Our subject's grandfathers were Conrad Renninger, a native of Germany, and Frederick Switzer, a native of Switzerland. Samuel Renninger learned carpentering, but after following it four years he was compelled to abandon the trade for lighter work, and finally took up hotel keeping. In 1853 he came to Findlay, this county, and here kept hotel for several years. In 1873, upon the death of his wife, Mr. Renninger retired from business and has since given his attention to the collection of his rents, etc., etc. He has two children: John S., a prominent physician in Marshall, Minn., and Lillie, a lady of fine attainments, now residing with friends in Pennsylvania. Samuel Ilonninger is a clever business man and has succeeded in accumulating a handsome competence in the hotel business. He is liberal in his contributions to all worthy public enterprises, and gives with a willing hand. | Renninger, Conrad (I42362)

Jacob Good, 1800-1811, 120A
Jacob Good, Jr., 1807-1811, 100A
--No Jacob Goods in 1817, although a Samuel Good (Jacob's son) is listed.
ANALYSIS: Deed records connect Christian Good and his son Jacob Good, who acquired part of his father's plantation, as well as adjoining lands. Deed records also prove this Jacob Good to be a widower in 1786. He next married a woman named Feronica. Estate records prove that Jacob have four sons. All were above the age of 21 years on 7 Jul 1813 (see Deed 8-526), suggesting that some-if not all-were born to the first wife.
Jacob Good acquired considerable land-about 420A by 1795. At his death, he held only about 141A, which he devised to son Samuel. Presumably, he deeded the other lands unto his sons. On the 1800 Federal Census, a John Good (son of Jacob) is listed next to his father. He and his presumed wife have no children. Further research is necessary to estimate the dates of birth of Jacob's children-and identify their mother.
Point of Concern: Jacob Good's first cousin Jacob Good (son of Jacob, the immigrant) also married a woman named Feronica (see Deed RR-40). It's possible that they have been confused in ways not recognized.

1. Names her only son Samuel Guth.
2. Identifies her three stepsons: Jacob Guth, John Guth, and Christian Guth.
3. NOTE: This compiler has not viewed the testament in person. Data taken from a secondary source (Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage, July 1989, page 23).
8-525: Feronica Good of Brecknock tp. (the widow of Jacob Good, late of same) has received a certain sum from her late husband's executors, Peter Good & John Burkhart. Her husband's last will & testament is dated 7 Nov 1811; reference is made to Orphans Court proceedings dated 9 June 1811.
--7 Jul 1813
8-526: The following four sons of Jacob Good, late of Brecknock tp., have received a certain sum out of their late father's estate [vide the preceding indenture, 8-525-this is the same family]:
1. John Good (or Guth) of Brecknock tp.
2. Samuel Good of same
3. Jacob Good of same
4. Christian Good of Earl tp.
---7 Jul 1813
MARRIAGE EVIDENCE:
Deed LL-261 identifies Jacob Good as a widower as of 19 Aug 1786. By 20 Apr 1801, he had married a woman named Feronica (see Deed K3-213). This Feronica must be Feronica Oberholtzer, the daughter of Jacob Oberholtzer. Deed P3-635 contains within its history an indenture dated 19 Aug 1791, in which Jacob Good & his wife Veronica (nee Oberholtzer) give their release to Jacob's real estate. To date, evidence shows only one Jacob Good with wife Feronica in Brecknock tp. during this time period. Jacob Good likely married his second wife Feronica Oberholtzer c1788. [Note: Feronica's sister Anna married one Peter Good, presumably Jacob's brother.]
P3-635: Barbara Oberholtzer, Elizabeth Oberholtzer, Joseph Oberholtzer, Jacob Oberholtzer, Anna Oberholtzer, and Abraham Oberholtzer, all of Brecknock tp., enf-rel.to John Oberholtzer of same
--Their right & title to 174a Brecknock tp. (formerly Cocalico tp.): HISTORY: It being the same tract that Christian Oberholtzer, Abraham Martin & his wife Maria, Peter Good & his wife Anna, John Heiger & his wife Barbara, Jacob Good & his wife Veronica, and Jacob Weaver & his wife Magdalena granted 19 Aug 1791 to John Oberholtzer. The said John Oberholtzer has since died intestate leaving issue seven children, all parties hereto, with John, the grantee hereto, his eldest son.
--16 Oct 1802
LANDHOLDINGS:
Based on the amount of land acquired, Jacob Good (son of Christian) must be the elder Jacob Good taxed on 430A in 1793.
1769: Christian Good heirs to Jacob Good, 122A and 33A (II-584; the latter tract being woodland)
1786: Jacob Good to John Good, 2A (LL-261; part of the 122A)
1788: Jacob Good acquired from John Tschantz, 22A (II-589, part of brother Henry's allotment)
1794: Jacob Good acquired from Abraham Sherk, 109A (K3-208; the rest of brother Henry's allotment)
pre-1795: Jacob Good acquired from neighboring lands, at least 36A (Copied Survey C5-72 to 74; see analysis below)
---------------------------
By the end of 1794, Jacob Good held at least 419A
---------------------------
1801: Jacob Good to Peter Mosser, 35A (K3-213; part of the 122A)
1802: Jacob Good to Cyrus Jacob, 33A (L3-363; the woodland tract from II-584)
1813: Jacob Good's executors to son Samuel Good, 83A + 36A + 22A (or 141A)
By 1795, Jacob Good owned about 285A, all formerly part of his father's real estate-it being the total of both he and his brother Henry's allotments (excluding two acres granted to his brother John).
HOWEVER, the second tract in Deed 7-331 (see below) appears to have a different origin. Samuel Good and Jacob Good patented land called "Good Intent" in 1808, which were originally parts of tracts warranted to George Hudson and Abraham Eicher.
Analysis: Jacob Good had surveyed for him the following three parcels, formerly part of two tracts: one warranted to George Hudson [later acquired by Abraham Eicher] and the other to the said Abraham Eicher:
a. 15a, 128p surveyed 14 June 1808 for Jacob Good (Copied Survey C5-72)

c. 9a, 20p surveyed 14 June 1808 for Jacob Good (Copied Survey C5-74)
Total acreage surveyed for Jacob Good on this date: 35a, 206p. This loosely translates to the 36a, 16p mentioned in Deed 7-331 [note: 160 perches equals one acre]. It is unknown when Jacob acquired this land. The Samuel Good who acquired the other parts of the Eicher land could be both Jacob Good's brother and/or Jacob's son.

John Good of Martic tp. (son of Peter Good)
--NOTE: Tax records not yet compiled for Martic tp.
ANALYSIS: John Good's 1762 last will & testament names John Stauffer & Christian Schenck as executors. A John Stauffer & Christian Schenck were sons-in-law of Peter Good, whose last will & testament was probated 6 Oct 1745. This Peter Good had a son John Good, who acquired several tracts of land in right of his late father as well as other land. I presume that 1762 John Good and John Good (son of Peter) are the same person.
By his last will & testament, John Good devised the land that he lived on, consisting of 210A, to his son John Good. He devised other land in Manchaster tp., York County, to his son Peter Good. Orphans Court records dated 2 Sep 1766 prove that all seven children were still under age as of that date. Based on this record, I have presumed that his children's birthdates range from 1746 to 1761.

LAND HOLDINGS:
I have found record of John Good acquiring three tracts of land in the Pequea region. First, he acquired parcels of land out of his father's estate, which I presume were adjoining (see delineation below). One tract contained 50 acres, the other 165 acres: The combined 205A likely equates to the 210A ("that land that I live on") devised unto his son John Good, Jr., by his last will & testament. [Note: The other five acres may suggest the acquisition of a small adjoining parcel-or perhaps a resurvey of both tracts found additional acreage.] // The other tract, consisting of 94A Martic tp., was acquired and sold within a three-year period in the 1750's (see delineation below).
NOTE: John Good devised by testament 283A Manchester tp., York County, to his son Peter Good. As this file pertains only to Lancaster records, I have not pursued this acquisition.

John Musselman of Earl tp.
Earl tp. tax records:
John Musselman, 1785-1788, 148A (missing '87; inmate '86)
This John Musselman is presumed to be the same man as the John Musselman of Cocalico tp.
John Musselman of Cocalico tp.
Cocalico tp. tax records:
Christian Musselman, 1769, 100A (see Deed S174; resident of Earl tp.)
John Musselman, 1770-1787, 100A to 32A (missing '77, '85)
NOTE: John acquired his land from Christian Musselman of Earl tp. John is taxed on the property five years prior to Christian giving him a deed for the same. One must assume that John completed payment in 1775. They are likely father and son; however, no evidence yet exists for this claim.
NOTE: It appears that John Musselman resided continuously in the township from 1770 to 1787. He did sell his last remaining land holdings in 1784; however, he appears to have reacquired them in 1786. See the following note for an explanation of his absence in 1785. It is possible that these are two different John's; however, I have presumed them to be one and the name. Each has a spouse named Magdalena and clearly a vested interest in the same property. They are possibly father and son but no supporting evidence exists.
KEY NOTE: John appears to have married Magdalena, the widow of Andreas Graff (see Deed TT-262). A John Musselman is taxed in Earl tp. from 1785-1786 and 1788 on 148A (but missing in '87). although he is listed as an inmate in 1786. This would appear to be Andreas Graff's land. Andreas died in 1771. Presuming a 1773 marriage, then John Musselman had but one wife named Magdalena.
MARRIAGE EVIDENCE:
TT-262: John Musselman, yeoman, & his wife Maudlina of Earl tp. [she being the late widow of Andrew Graff (or Grove), yeoman, late of same] quitclaims to the legal heirs of John Graff & Abraham Graff [sons of the said Andrew Graff, deceased]

Therefore, he must be taxed continuously through 1789.

More details on Nicolaus:
The first documented Kachelriess to arrive in American was Nicolaus Kachelriess. He arrived on September 27, 1737 at the Port of Philadelphia, aboard the ship "Snow Molly" which left from Amsterdam, Holland and sailed to America via Dover, England.
There were 95 "Palatine" passengers aboard the Snow Molly. (All passengers may or may not have actually been from Palatine, Germany. It was a common practice to record all passengers from one originating point, which simplified record keeping.) All male passengers over the age of 16 (there were 31) were listed by the ship's captain, John Howell. The other 64 passengers would have been females (all ages) or males 16 or under.
There were no other Kachelriess immigrants listed on this voyage; however, it is not known whether or not Nicolaus came to American alone, or with a wife and young family -- or other male relatives under 16 years of age, who would not have been recorded. (Source: Ralph Beaver Strassburger: Pennsylvania German Pioneers, Vol. I, page 173-174 )
A Nicholas Cochelrise is recorded on the 1737 Philadelphia County, PA Census, and appears to be the same Nicholas who arrived on the Snow Molly. At this point he disappears from PA -- and it seems possible that he died shortly after arriving in America, since he doesn't surface again anywhere (that I've found). To date, no documentation has been discovered that reveals the name of the father of Tabalt (Theobald or Theobold?) and Michael Cocklereece, but it is possible that Nicholas was their father.
Consider the following:
A 1754 land transaction for a Mathias Myars is the first record of Mathias Miers/Myars in NC: Granville County Deeds, Patent Book 14, page 5, (abstract 2474) transaction dated 4/26/1754; Mathias Miers purchases 400 acres in Granville County on both sides of Skelton Creek; Witnesses Jno Haywood, Sher Haywood; SCC Benford Dickens, Griffin Nunary; Wm Churton, Surveyor.
1769 Tax Census records for Granville County, NC indicate Tabolt's son (who is mentioned in Mythias Myars' March 1770 Will) indicate Mythias/Mathias was born before 1753, since only males over the age of 16 were recorded. If at least 16 when his son was born, Tabolt would have been born before 1736.
Michael is probably the elder of the two since he inherited the largest portion of Mythias Miars estate in 1770.
Based on a possible 1752 birthdate for Mythias, son of Tabolt, and because he appears to be named for Mary's second husband, Mythias/Mathias Miers/Myars, it is plausible that the father of Tabolt and Michael died before 1752. Bridging the two generations, I believe that Michael and Tabolt were probably born between 1735 and 1737.
If born in 1737, Tabalt would have been 33 at the time of Mythias Myars death in 1770, and an infant in 1737. Likewise, Michael, if born in 1735 would have been 35 in 1770, and only 2 in 1737. Both Michael and Tabalt could have been born in Amsterdam, Holland. This is important since it establishes that a connection between Nicholas, Michael and Tabalt is possible.
It appears that both of Mary Kachelriess's sons (Michael and Tabalt) COULD have arrived on the Snow Molly; however, there is a problem -- a published genealogical paper (National Genealogical Society Quarterly, September 1951) which indicates Johannes Kachelriess, who is believed to be the son of Tabolt, was born in 1760 in Holland -- 23 years after the 1737 arrival of the Snow Molly. Because of the source (NGSQ), the birth year and place are assumed to be reliable facts, but the author is dead, and the supporting documentation is unknown. Also, there are no census records that indicate John/Johannes was foreign born. I believe the reference to birthplace was actually for Michael, John's father.
In America, the name Cocklereece has been found to be an "Anglicized" version of the German surname Kachelriess (in German records of the Friedens Church in Gibsonville, NC). I've been in touch with present-day Kachelriess descendants in Germany -- who say that Kachelriess is a VERY rare German name which originates in a small area in northern Bavaria. Most Kachelriesses come from or near Unternesselbach, Mittelfranken, Bayern (Bavaria, Germany), which is northeast of Stuttgart and northwest of Nuremburg. Tthe majority of the Kachelriess records I have found at the LDS Library in SLC, (there are quite a few in the Brenner Collection) originated in this area. | Kachelreiss, Nicholas (I33295)

BRUCKER or BRUIKER, Peter

BRUIKER, Anna
BRUIKER, Barbara
BRUIKER, Hans
Anna's father was Peter Bricker, later of Heidelberg Township, Berks County. I came across a deed in the
Berks County Deeds dated 1775.
"To all People to whom these Presents shall come, Peter Desher of the Township of Bethel in the County of Lancaster in the Province of Pennsylvania, yeoman, and Barbara his wife, and Peter Zimmerman of the Township of Cocalico in the said County, yeoman, and Anna his wife (which said Barbara and Anna are the daughters of Peter Bricker, late of the Township of Heidelberg in the County of Berks in the Province aforesaid, yeoman deceased) send greeting.

--23 Mar 1792
MARRIAGE EVIDENCE:
Peter Zimmerman's last will & testament indicates that he had two wives. By his second wife Anna, Peter names one child, Peter. By his first wife (not named), Peter names three children: Elizabeth, Anna, and Barbara. Peter had married his second wife Anna by 4 June 1767 (see Deed H386).
The following indenture proves that Peter's second wife was Anna Bricker, the daughter of Peter Bricker of Heidelberg tp.:
Undocumented Berks County Deed (from a reputable source):
"To all People to whom these Presents shall come, Peter Desher of the Township of Bethel in the County of Lancaster in the Province of Pennsylvania, yeoman, and Barbara his wife, and Peter Zimmerman of the Township of Cocalico in the said County, yeoman, and Anna his wife (which said Barbara and Anna are the daughters of Peter Bricker, late of the Township of Heidelberg in the County of Berks in the Province aforesaid, yeoman deceased) send greeting.

For consideration:
The following records pertains to another Peter Zimmerman; however, their proximity should be noted:

Wit: Philip MAYER, John Casper READ and Adam KALBACH.
From the Internet: Peter Zimmerman married Barbara Deppen. They moved circa 1758 to Lincoln County, North Carolina. [NOTE: This Peter Zimmerman cannot be the son of Peter Zimmerman of Cocalico tp. Peter's son Peter was born to his second wife and seemingly appears in Cocalico tax records circa 1778.]
I have viewed the above last will & testament (see the FTM file) and the wording suggests that daughter Barbara was yet alive in 1775.
LANDHOLDINGS:
Overview:
1. 639a Cocalico tp. acquired by Peter Zimmerman 12 June 1747 from his brother John Zimmerman (Deeds A159 & C89)
2. 196a Cocalico tp. war. 10 May 1749 and later surveyed & patented to the said Peter Zimmerman (Patent P3-116).
3. 100a Cocalico tp. acquired by Peter Zimmerman 27 Dec 1749 from Hans Buch (Deed C49)
4. 42a Cocalico tp. acquired by Peter Zimmerman 16 May 1753 from Hans Zimmerman (Deed D1)
5. 50a Cocalico tp. acquired by Peter Zimmerman 24 May 1754 from Michael Baughman (Deed D384)
6. 98a Cocalico tp. acquired by Peter Zimmerman 29 Mar 1760 from Peter Bricker (Deed O412)
Peter Zimmerman acquired considerable property out of the lands patented to his brother John Zimmerman. The relationship between the men is indicated in Lancaster County deeds A159 and BB-392. I have not viewed the surveys for the lands acquired by Peter Zimmerman; however, I presume that the lands are all adjoining. Due to the complexity in tracing the lands of the Zimmerman family, I have incorporated all lands acquired by Peter Zimmerman into the enumeration below.
Peter Zimmerman first acquired land from his brother John Zimmerman in 1747. Logically, John Zimmerman acquired this part of his immense land holdings for the use of his said brother, who may have been a minor until the time of conveyance. Later acquisitions by Peter Zimmerman adjoin this original property. In 1749, Peter purchased an adjoining plantation patented to Hans Buch. In the same year, Peter obtained a warrant for land eventually surveyed on the north side of his 1747 acquisition. In 1753, Peter purchased an adjoining parcel of 42 acres from his said brother John Zimmerman (see Deed D1). In 1754, Peter purchased another adjoining parcel of 50 acres from Michael Baughman (see Deed D384). The latter parcel was originally surveyed and patented to the said John Zimmerman, who lost this and other property during various legal proceedings. Peter's last known acquisition was in 1760, when he acquired 98 acres from Peter Bricker, who had acquired the residue of the said John Zimmerman's 900-acre patent land. It is possible that this last acquistion was a release in which Bricker cleared title to Peter Zimmerman (Confusion may have existed since John Zimmerman has mortgaged the entire 900-acre tract before defaulting to the said Peter Bricker.)
Taken together, Peter Zimmerman acquired nearly 1,100 adjoining acres in Cocalico tp.

Note: The tract surveyed to Peter Zimmerman in 1784 in pursuance of the 1749 land warrant was in the possession of Jacob Bear-see Deed R3-216. It is not clear why the patent was returned to Peter Zimmerman; at this time, the patent has not been consulted.
Note: The 1760 indenture between Peter Bricker and Peter Zimmerman could involve the release of land previously acquired by the said Zimmerman. If so, the acreage should be be added into Peter's landholdings.
IMPORTANT: See the section on Jacob Bear's landholdings for additional dispositions. Also, see a section on George Wohlfarth's landholdings for further dispositions of his property.
