My John Lefever was a neighbor of John Murry and Charles Welbaum in Allegheny & Antis Twp., Huntingdon now Blair Co. PA. John pioneered into Staunton Twp. Miami Co. OH by 1817 and by 1824 in adjacent Shelby Co. Ohio.Go to the Miami Co. genealogocal site for land deals by Murrys.
John Lefever's son Daniel born 1813 in Antis named his eldest son born 1845 John Murry Lefevre.I do have the 1810 Allegheny federal census & the 1810 & 1811 Tax roll showing Murrys & Charles Welbaum.My John born 1770's and wife Catherine Marts and John's sister Catherine Lefever Smith were in the Antis Twp church called "LOgan Valley Salem Lutheran".But may have attended the Dunker church some.However, I do not find Murry or Welbaum in the Lutheran records, although Lefever was their neighbor. John's adjacent household was Mattay, who changed his surname to Matthews and was a neighbor in Shelby Co.
