Your note says you are descendent from Theobald and Peter Garst.Is this Peter born in 1771, son of Theobald (Devolt) born 1741?If so, you may be able to help me establish my link to Peter or to either of his brothers, Dewalt (b. abt. 1775) or Frederick (b. abt. 1778).My GG-Grandfather was a Frederick Garst (Gerst) born 1801 in what is now Lebanon County, PA.You refer to Ephriam, son of Peter, who added an H to Garst.My family lore says my G-Grandfather added an H to Gerst.
If I have the right Peter above, can you provide details of any more of his children besides Ephriam?
