Peter Erick, PA , OH, and IN
He is the son of Leonard Ihrig/Erick/Erich and he was born 1800 and m. Elizabeth Byers and lived in Jackson twp, Huntington Co. IN and he is bur. in Wesley Cem. A newspaper article of 1974 states that Peter donated the land for the cemetery.His brother Leonard Arick Jr. had a son Jacob Arick and he also lived in Jackson twp. and is buried in the Arick cem. I have never had positive proof that they are related.
Peter was born Apr 7, 1800 Washington Co. PA and Leonard Arick was born May 23, 1790 Washington Co. PA.Leonard moved to OH and he is on the 1830 census as Ihrig and his children married under the name Ihrig, but his court papers after his death has his name as Erick but he is buried as Arick.
I have never found out why part of the family kept the Erick name and part changed it to Arick.I also have a lot of Ihrig's in my database but I cannot connect to them either, but there was a Jacob Ihrig living and going to the same church as Leonard Sr. and they named their children after each other so I think Jacob Ihrig was a brother to Leonard Sr.These are my brick walls.
