I have the book also. That is where I was quoting the information from. My Josef is #424 in the book. The father died just prior to when they left to come to the USA, but the mother came with her son Jakob and his wife Katherine Zehr. They were going to Canada, but there was some problems in the Amish church here, and he was selected to be a minister so stayed here the rest of their lives. Most all their decendents also stayed in Lewis County New York. Most are still Mennonities. This area of France is where most of the Mennonities of Lewis Co. came from. I would be interested in your information as it covers families that I am doing research on. I am also working on the Widrick-Wittrig-Wiedrich line. They came from Grostenquin which is near-by. I also will share information with others.
