Ray,
Thank you for posting the descendants of Mathaus Painter, b. 1677.I'm hoping you can check something for me in your records.There are two Mathias Painters among his descendants listed.One, born 1759, is the son of Alexander Painter.The other, born 1741, is the son of John Painter.The Gene Pool database at Ancestry.com lists the latter Mathias, born 1741, as the husband of Christina Wiseman and the father of Catharina who married Jacob Emswiller.Your data, however, shows this Catharina as the daughter of the former Mathias, son of Alexander.It appears that your information on Catharina was taken from the Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, which lists Mathias Painter's heirs, among them Catharina Empsmiller (sic).It doesn't say which Mathias it is.Do you have any other information that links Catharina Emswiller to the right Mathias?
