Elias born 1770 # 9-060

I paid for research in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania to resolve information on Daniel Lefever born 1713 of "The
Pennsylvania (Pequea) LeFevres". That PA LeFevre book I found weas again in error - it has Daniel's death as 1781 the date of his will. Documents prove he died in the spring of 1801 just after his wife - the spring of his 1801 probate.
Another document dated 1768 indicated that Daniel's son Elias had a son named Elias out of wedlock, perhaps about 1666/67, in it Daniel agreed to support Elias (Jr.) and the mother one Ann Morree/Marree.
So pages 21 % 33 in the book should be corrected to show the mother was the above Ann. Also from the aboved date of document and from the 1850 Warren Co. federal census, the calculated birth year of 1666/67 seems more corret than the 1770 date assigned to Elias Lefever # 9-060.
The other children, including six more sons and a two daughter born between 1668 & 1792 were probably from the wife of Elias of 1743, one Mary Salome (maiden name unk.) who I calculate married him about 1667/68 in Maryland?
The book leves out one daughter and five sons including my ancestor!
On page 33 is listed George Lefever # 10-197 born July 19, 1795 to Elias of 1770 # 9-060. From church records in Lancaster, this son was from his 1st wife Catherine Mathoit, Since I have no Ohio record of this George, he must have stayed with the Methoit clan in Lancaster woth siblings Abraham & Sussana.
Elias of 1770 married in MD in 1778 Catherine Craver (not Carver) and moved to Warren Co., OH about 1803.
