I believe I can help clear up the questions on Abraham Cable and his
wife's name.
1 Philip b. c. 1700-1710, m. Maria Brady (Brede)
2 Abraham s/o of Philip b. c. 1729, m. Mary Magdalene -----. I have
never seen a surname for her.
2 Benjamin s/o of Philip b. after 1730
3 Abraham s/o of Benjamin b. 12/1770, m. Susana Stahl b. 1777.
In the same newsletter The Brethren List includes Jonathan Cable and
Elizabeth ---. Jonathan was my great grandfather. He m. Elizabeth
Rodgers, b. 11/16/1838 in PA, d/o of David Rodgers, b. 6/27/1800, in
Liff, Forfarshire, Scotland, immigrated to Philadelphia in 1820.
In another message in the same Rootsweb edition in a list of landowners
in Brothers Valley includes Jonathan Cable of Ephrata. This is an
error. Jonathan was b. 3/16/1835 in Shade Twp., Somerset Co. His
great-great-grandfather Philip, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1732 with
his wife Maria Brady, daughter Barbara, and son Abraham, moved the
family to the Ephrata Cloister in 1735 but moved out in 1738. Jonathan
was not from Ephrata.
Hope this is of some help.
