Following SOURCE: Copy of a letter in the Somerset Historical Societyfrom John N. Lenhart to Mrs. Eber Cockley dated February 10, 1989 - thisnote was sent cc to the Historical Society.  Excerpted sections from theletter:
       "I used to visit my great grandfather, Peter Lenhart, on his farm asa boy with my grandfather, Peter John Lenhart in Chili, Ohio.  Accordingto my research, Peter Jr. intermarried with Yorty, Nancy, and a wife atLigonier was born in 1811.  A letter from Charlotte Lenhart Johnston,owner of the Hotel Lenhart in Bemus, NY, dated November 1, 1955 statesthat: (1) the name of her grandfather was Peter and that he was a stonemason near Ligonier, Pennsylvania (Westmoreland County), (2) that membersof the family are buried at Beam Church Cemetery near Somerset, (3) thather grandfather married a Catherine Jordan, (4) that there was a sonCyrus, M.D. and that her father (a son of Peter) was John Jordan, M.D.This coincides with estate information about Peter who died at Ligonierin 1889 at age 78.  The name of his wife at that time was Eliza -apparently the third wife in the Eber Cockley notes of 1963.
       According to Clarence Lenhart of Coshocton, Ohio (grandson of Peter)in correspondence with Charles Ross Shultz of Swissvale, Pennsylvania inthe 1940s, Phoebe, a daughter of Peter, stated that Peter's father nevercame to Ohio.  If so, the Miller History statement that the family cameto Ohio after 1825 is incorrect.  My census search shows them in SomersetCounty in 1830 and 1840."
