Five children brought to America: Andrew & Nimrod (twins), William, John S., Catherine -- all born around Strasburg.
We are seeking information on Yohann's Franco-German relatives... and of Elizabeth Miller's birthplace or relatives. Elizabeth went by "Hoffman" at death, her children by "Huffman".
Yohann's father is also reported to have been a soldier, serving under Lafayette in the Revolutionary War.
