Research Notes:
baptized by Rev Mishler at New Bethel Church; witnesses were John Kuntz
and Magdalena Virgin [Ref: Harter REICHELDERFER p30]
possible that the fraktur with baptism information (6 May 1771 by Pastor
Mischler) is incorrect; that Magdalena was baptized soon after her birth
in 1761 or 1762. Peter Mishler (1732-1812) worked in the vicinity of northern
Berks Co from abt 1767 to 1772; Rev Daniel Schumacher also worked in that
area and recorded several entries for Heinrich and Maria Catharina, including
a baptism for "Simon Peter" on 17 Jan 1762. [WTM: name on that record, "Simon
Peter" may be wrong, see those notes]. Fraktur was made by Frederick Krebs
c1800, long after the event [Ref: Earnest Fraktur]
