               Following the start of the Keithian controversy about
               1692, the Quakers in the colonies became polarized.
               Many of the Germantown group eventually became
               Mennonites, especially with the migration trend to
               the western part of what later became Montgomery
               County.  This migration started with the purchase in
               early 1702 of a 6000 acre tract by Mathias van Bebber
               in the Skippack Creek area, later known as Perkiomen
               Township, and as "van Bebber land".  The settlements
               spread northward to Towamencin Township.

             material presented by Shank on the van Better and
             the Op den Graeff families seems to be consistent but
             for these relationships.
