Hi All: I am new to the List (but have been reading the Archives' messages).


According to the information that I have: DANIEL FIANT married SALOME GABY;
she was the daughter of Elder MARTIN GABY and SUSANNA PRICE.

The following outline was sent to me by one of my relatives:

9 May 1742 in Germany, died on 24 Feb 1812 in Berks Co., Pennsylvania at age

and ISAAC.

*MARTIN, JR. married SUSAN TRAUT. They had one son, JOHN. JOHN married
HANNAH (unknown); they had three children: LYDIA, *SUSANNA and RACHEL.

I apologize for this being so long -- but if anyone can give any additional
information -- or possible corrections, I would like to hear from you.. I
would like to know more about the Pricetown Meeting House too. Does anyone
have any pictures of the STRONG family? I have none!!

I also want to say how very much I have enjoyed Rev. Merle C. Rummel's, "The
Virgina settlement or The Four Mile Church of the Brethren" at the Union
County, IN website. Such wonderful information!!

My Best Regards, Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert at
