Ch = John, Christian, Benjamin, Joseph, Daniel, David, Magdalena, Henry Peter, Elizabeth, Abraham, and two daughter unidentified. - A legend persists in Somerset Co. that nine Hershberger brothers crossed the mountains into western Pa. and settled there. This appears to be true, except for the minor detail that two sons, David and Peter, did not go as far as the others but remained in Mifflin County instead. Peter lived in Oliver Twp, Mifflin Co. where he bought a farm from John Kauffman in 1819. Peter was married to Barbara, daughter of Isaac Kauffman who had also moved to Mifflin Co. from Berks.* Reference: RootsWeb's WorldConnect - SmartCopy: Sep 13 2017, 2:27:44 UTC
