Baptismals for all the children have been
found except for Conrad. His death record in Grant Township, Indiana County,

85 years. Two obituaries have been found: (1) stating age of 85 years;
(2) stating age of 86 years.
His grave marker shows "85 yrs 12

According to baptismal records, his sister was born 18 January 1809, making it very
doubtful that he was born in months later.
