Thanks - there was/is a large Lawyer family in Schoharie, NY, the one Mr. Ratzenberg ties into.A Christopher Lauer came from Schoharie to the Tulpehocken area of (now) Berks County, PA in 1723 with the group that made that move.However, I don't believe "my" Peter ties in with them.
I now believe that Peter Lawyer, born 1761, was the son of Adam and Eve Loyer who ended up in Dauphin County.Haven't been able to make a "firm" connection, but circumstantial evidence points to this relationship.Am still working on it.
