I am working back from Virginia to PA on a Peter OATYER (b 1751 NJ [Ref. Obit]- d 1834 Loudoun Co. Va.). Peter's name was spelled many different ways in court records but his children went by the spelling of ETCHER. I have seen ACHER and recently in a York Co. PA record I found a Peter ATECH along with Lefever.Peter's children were: John (died prior to father) but married and had offspring; Catherine (1781-1850) md. Jacob Caylor and moved to Fayette Co. Ohio; Mary md. William Lafaber/Lafaver and remained in Loudoun Co. Va.; Elizabeth md. John Maffett/Moffett and remained in Va; Ann md. ?? Caylor (this may be Susanna and Adam Caylor also found in Fayette Co. Ohio). Recent research on the Lafaver family has led me to Adams Co. PA and the Christ Reformed Church of Littlestown (SE of Gettysburg) where I found in the records of the cemetery Lafaver, Calers, Eckert and a Henry Arter (b 1838). The history of the church says that the Germans came from the Palatinate into NY, through NJ and then to PA. While I am not connected with the Lafavers I am aware of those that settled around Peter Oatyar in Loudoun Co. Va. I am very interesting in learning more about Peter Acker 1753-1832 and where he lived in PA and VA. Ann
