• Notes

  13 heirs (children) per estate settlement (land sale) document 1 April 1853, to Peter Gramling for lot of woodland contg." in Cumru township, Berks Co PA. No widow named, only children & giving daughters' married names Contributor: Sandra Fleischmann (49654581 Given the Census age indications for Abraham, coupled with brother Frederick's 24 Apr 1775 birth and brother Peter's birth c Dec 1772, Abraham would have had to be born in the Nov 1773 to May 1774 period. The 1800 Census, for instance, puts him in the 26-45 aged range, indicating his birth in 1774 or earlier. In Aug-Sep 1844, several notices appeared in Reading PA newspapers that Abraham had not picked up his mail. His wife appears alone in the 1850 Census with son Benjamin. These suggest that Abraham died in the 1844-1850 period. Contributor: Glenn Stephens
