native of Germany and his wife Anna Margaret, b 22 Feb 1731, who was the dtr of 
Rudolph and Anna Ebright, natives of the canton of Zurich, who removed to Berne, 
where they had a large family and then about 1740 to America. They were robbed of

settled at Germantown. They died the same day, aged respectively 74 and 73, and 
were buried in the same grave. Their dtr Anna Margaret, who married Henry Steel in 
1754, and had three children, married, as second husband, Edward Oxley, and lived to
