Eve sponsored by David and
Eva Shaeffer. From Lutheran Church of Cobleskill. Alexander, born October
24, 1815, sponsored by Marcus
Warner, from records of Reformed Church of Schoharie. Another child, Daniel,
born July 15, 1816 listed,

NOTE: (Herman Witthoft)
I had George married to Catherine Werner, and David L. Thurber, says, "No".
This is part of his family
