I would appreciate input from other Unger researchers on birth dates for the children of Nicholas Unger b. 1759 Lancaster Co PA d. 1814 Morgan County VA m. Catherine Hollinger.

Old information I have shows the children's birth dates as:
Mary b. 1782 m. Wm Kendricks
Catherine b. 1784
Nickolas b. 1786
Henry b. 1788
John W. b. 1790 m. Nancy Meeks
George b. 18 Feb 1796 m. Elizabeth Bailey
Daniel b. 1794
Washington b. 8 Feb 1808 m. Nancy Ambrose

I have been studying the will of Nicholas Unger dated Dec 24, 1813 in Morgan County VA. He names children Mary, Catherine, Daniel and John as heirs who appear to be of age. He also names children Nicholas, George, Henry and Washington who have not yet reached 21. That changes the picture of the birth dates of the above children.

Mary, Catherine, Daniel and John W. had to be born before 1793 to be over 21 in 1813. John W. bought land in Berkeley County in 1805 meaning he had to be born no later than 1784 (to be 21 in 1805). That means that Nicholas, George, Henry and Washington were all born after 1793. George and Washington dates are firm, but birth dates for Nicholas and Henry above must be incorrect. Daniel is the executor of the will and may have been the oldest male. I have not been able to locate him in later census records to confirm his birth date.

Also, just for information, I have been searching the "Pennsylvania Archives" series which are now on-line and find Nicholas Unger listed in at least five places as being in the PA Militia in Lancaster Co. In two places he is listed as an Ensign. His last entry is in the 8th Class, Lancaster County,PA Militia in 1785. He is taxed in Berkeley County VA (now Morgan County) in 1787, but he may have been taxed in Lancaster Co PA later than that.

I would appreciate any thoughts or additional information on the birth order of his children. Thanks.
