Notes
From "Two Hundred Years With The Siders" compiled by Harold Sider and Ron Sider -
Abram and Magdalena were born in Bertie Township, both from Pennsylvania Dutch families, members of the Tunker Church. Abram and Magdalena lived on her father's farm, about a mile south east of the present Bertie Brethern in Christ Church. Abram was a farmer and preacher for the Tunker Church, and was selected to be the "Elder" or "Bishop" of the church. He was thus the leader of the group which had several men serving as ministers.
After Magdalena died at age 51 years, Abram remarried a widow with three daughters, Rachel Pound. One of these daughters, Alice Pound, later became the wife of Magdalena's son Jonas.
