I also have a marriage date of 3 Oct 1867 (I don't know where this came from), Uncle Lew and Horace have the 10 Oct date. I also have a birthplace of Berwick Township, Adams, PA.
I also have a marriage place as York, PA. I used Abbottstown, because Uncle Lew had this.He appeared to have the more accurate information. I also have a referral to 2 "other" children who may have died young. I only have one reference to these. This would conform to the one census that they had 1 children, but maybe that is where someone else got it?
I have seen his headstone. Buried with his wife, Mary Hydeman, Marie and Elsie.

I saw the baptism record from the St. John's Church records.
