According to the accounts I have seen, Christopher Beeler and his wife Catherina were living in Virginia around the mid 1730s when they became members of a religious group in Ephrata, Pennsylvania.Christopher returned to Virginia sometime before 1741 with the woman who became his second wife.Catherina remained in Pennsylvania where she died in 1741.Christopher owned land in various parts of northern Virginia. I've not seen any evidence as to where he actually arrived in colonial America.It could have been in any of several ports along the east coast.
