Hi Mr. Bigler: I am a descendant of John LANDES and Catherine MILLER. John's Father, Christian LANDES (d. 1782 Windsor Twp., York County, PA) owned land adjoining Rudolph MILLER's property. John's Mother was Barbara STRICKLER, not Mariah STRICKLER. Christian's second wife was Mariah BIXLER per his will.

Here are the children I show for John, Sr. and Catherine MILLER:

Does any of the information you have or that was sent to you have anything on these people. They migrated about 1790 to the Rockingham / Augusta area of Virginia.

Thanks for any help!

My Grandmother was a LANDES so the line goes back pretty far.
