Hi - In the Pehl Family Book written by Kenneth J.Pehl and Mary Ann Klein,(Fredericksburg, Texas) Page 155 states: "It is strongly believed that the eldest offspring, Eliabeth, married in Uvalde Country first to a Henry (?) Levering with a second marriage later to a Eli Edmundson, However, no definite proof has been established to confirm these suspicions. Further information is lacking to establish the descendancy from here."
Parents listed are John Adam Pehl and Anna Maria Lenz, who are also my great great grandparents. Their son, Peter;(Elizabeth's brother)Peter's son, Peter, his son, Walter , who was my dad.
"A New Land Beckoned" by Chester W. Genue and Ethel Hander Geue, shows:
Pehl, Jon.A. from Holler, Nass; Hercules, 1845; with Anna, nee Lenz, ch Elis., Peter, Magda., Adam; Gillespie County 1850.
In 1860, you find my great grandfather, Peter(who married Mary Anna Klein) and sister Magdalena (who married Adam Fries) living with their Uncle Peter, brother to Johann Adam.
It's great to hear from you. I will try to get you Kenneth's email. Maybe you can find her under Edmundson.
I believe we are third cousins. If you can find Elizabeth, and establish lineage, then you are eligible for the Daughters of the Republic of Texas - if you are interested.
Please keep in touch.
