John stayed in south eastern Pennsylvania and married Johanna Stump from Cumberland County. John and Johanna had 12 children. They moved west, to then Bedford County, later Somerset County. Some of their children were born after they came to Brothersvalley Township, Somerset County, about 1785. They belonged to the Lutheran Church in Pine Hill. Directions: Somerset, south on Route 219 to Berlin: which is approximately nine miles. Monument: in Berlin, continue south on route 219 from the yellow blinker light in Berlin, 2.7 miles; then right on to Oldmill Road.
