Peter Rothrock Jr. is said to be the youngest of eleven known children of Peter Rothrock Sr. (1746-1829) and Catharina Mueller (became Miller) Rothrock (1749-1803) on 09 Oct 1770 at York, York County, Pennsylvania. Peter Jr. was born at the Moravian community of Friedberg, then on the border of Stokes and Rowan Counties, North Carolina; now (present-day) on the border of Forsyth and Davidson Counties, North Carolina. Were these really Peter Jr's parents? His mother would have been 49 years old at the time of his birth, quite a feat for that time period. Or is Peter Jr's birth year of 1798 incorrect?
