Stephen ULERY d. ca March 1778 Washington Co., PA

I hope these clues will help.From Histra of Ulrey and Leers(see messages below)research notes include: Source:Maurice Stutsman of Goshen Indiana.Daniel's son, Jacob, married Susannah Lear who was a granddaughter of Stephen Ulrich.Susannah Lear (Leer, Lehr), the mother of the author of the "histra" was a daughter of Jacob Lear who married Lydia Ulrich before 1785 when "Jacob and Lidia liear" joined other heirs of Stephen Ulrich to sell some of the land which Ulrich had purchased in 1752 north of Clear spring, Maryland (Washington Co. Md., Land Records Book D pp. 588-591)....Jacob Stutzman and another Dunker neighbor, Stephen Ulrich, were naturalized in 1767 which indicates their births abroad and which makes it reasonable to accept the statement by the author of the "histra" that his"..grate gran father Leer..Came from Germey"
I have included the typescript of the histra in a followup below.Hope these clues will help.
