• Notes

  Immigrated in 1778, Philadelphia; Oath of Alegiance, Apr 1778 in Lancaster, PA. Christian Keller's letter to his daughter Magdalena and Abraham Hoover, filed with Jacob Hoover's Will here translated from German Script to English. On the back of this letter was written "John Hoover's Bond due to Jacob Hoover", which makes us believe Abraham Hoover's father in law Christian Keller purchased the deceased son John Hoover's Bond and thus received Lot 24, Concession 3, Walpole which would otherwise have gone to John. Christian Keller's son John sold this lot in 1835 and it appears it was his inheritance as he isn't mentioned in his mother's 1826 Indenture: Manchester Township 21 November 1815 Most honoured daughterman and daughter, We did not want to let this opportunity pass without sending you a letter with Michael Gravill. We will let you know that now we are all healthy as long as God will grant it and also our relatives and friends. Our son John lost his two younger children - the older one a little boy the youngest a little girl - they died within four or five weeks in hospital. Now he has only one son. Our daughterman Benjamin Keller (Kaller) with wife and two children moved to his father October 13th. His journey got delayed because of an outbreak of Dysentery which had befallen his oldest child. This illness cost the lives of many children and some adults; amongst the latter also Georg Lichtenberger's daughter Peggy and Breitenbach's daughter ? who was married to ?. Otherwise there is nothing new to tell you. Heartfelt greetings from us and all our friends and relatives here and all our friends and relatives there. Your faithful Parents and Siblings, Christian Keller (Kaller)
