"Hahnewald,Cock of The Woods" by Pearl Turner Hanawalt,and Also on A Bit of History of the Early Settlers of St.Joseph Co,Indiana,there is a Mention of One Peter Roof.
In The Ciry cemetary of South Bend Indiana there is a STONE Erected too the memory of One Peter Roof and also too his Wife Margaret Replogle Roof.Peter was The Son of Michael and Mary Agnes Roof of Colerain Township,Bedford County,Pennsylvania.and he is one of the Revolutionary Soldiers That is Buried in The Cemetary.
His Wife Margaret Replogle was The Woman who as a Child was taken by The Indians in 1766.Margaret was born in Bedgford County,Pa in 1751 The Daughter of Rinehart Replogle Sr
