I am searching for a void in this family [any spelling] .. a void that might be filled by my ancestor, John KARSTETTER b.1790/1800 Pa .. married Barbara ? .... had 3 daughters born in Pa before 1829 and then moved to Crawford County Ohio before the birth of a son, Samuel in 1830.
Some of the descendents of the KERSTETTER etc. family lived in Centre County [also what is now Clinton & Mifflin] ....
1. Leonard KERSTETTER Jr [1783-1869 Centre Co Pa] and wife Maria Elizabeth Schreckengost [1781-1857]. This is NOT my particular line, but I have info about them!
2. Johannes "John" KERSTETTER [1760-1813 Centre Co Pa] and wife Catherine WOLF.

Did he have daughter Phebe 1814 [m]O'DANIELS who went to Stephenson Co Ill??? Did he have a son John??
4. Johannes Adam KERSTETTER [1757- ] and wife Catherine ? .
