Can you clear up the parentage of my Samuel and your Michael? Files at the library in Fairfield, Iowa, where Samuel died, give their names as John and Catharine. I have a printout of a Revolutionary War pension claim (#S32468) indicating that Samuel and Catharine were the parent's names. The other statements given in the pension claim seem to indicate that this is the father of our brothers. This Samuel's father was Stephen, born in Znaim, Germany.
