Hi Pat.......I've finally read my way thru this whole Germantown Guidebook
mss. There's a lot about the Battle of Germantown...which may interest
some of us.....but here and there I also found many little nuggets of info
about the EARLY settlers. I want to be sure that I know about ALL the
earliest people....and wonder if you found any that I might have
missed......connected to the Custer family by marriage perhaps. I noticed
the mention of the Tysons and the Streypers......but did you notice any
others?? I'm probably not as "fluent" as you are about those early family
connections.
(I need all the direction I can get......from all of you cousins!)
It looks like there is a long list of historic spots along the Main Street
that will be fun to look for...... and the cemeteries especially.
I'm reading everything I can get my hands on......really cramming for this
trip. Would hate to miss something!!
Looks like I'll be able to find the location of the first "meeting house"
but I've got to read the Paulus Book again to see if I can figure out where
his first 50 acres might have been located......and can't remember if it
told where he and Gertrude were buried. And the Pastorius
school.....haven't found out where that is yet either.
Stay tuned.....gotta go read some more!
