Note: The family names on our 1788 fraktur birth certificate are Kehler and Dillinger. The two families were neighbours in what is now Dillingersville, PA, and trace their origins to one or more family members who arrived in Philadelphia in 1728 on the same ship, the Mortonhouse, carrying German immigrants from the Palatinate.
