Very Interesting, Thank you. I wonder if this Mathias Kessler was the one
born in Lancaster County, Pa and eventually migrated to Fairfield County
Ohio. His second wife was Eve Gross.

I have added several books to my genealogy wish list. I'd rather have
genealogy stuff for gifts, but unfortunately only other genealogy fans
understand the value of such gifts.
