You may also want to check the Perry Co., PA GenWeb page for my (slow) transcription of the book, Churches Between the Mountains, by Focht. I just finished a section on Mt. Zion Church, Fishing Creek Valley, Rye Twp-- this section did contain info. on a Messinger & Gamber family-- just found this info. at the end of the section:
(listing of members as of June, 1862)-
Barbara Messinger; Susan H. Messinger; barbara Messinger; Mary A. Messinger; Henry Gamber; John Gamber; David Gamber; S.E. Gamber; Mary Gamber; Maria Gamber; Regina Gamber; Elizabeth Gamber; William Messinger; George Messinger.........
You'll need to check the section further and see if there is more info.
