• Notes

  According to Mason Spelts Zerbe, Sr.'s records (source 46), Phillip "bought and lived on the old homestead adjoining Hetzel's church. He was granted a warrant for a tract of land from the Commonwealth of Pa. May the eighth, 1798, called 'Good Intent' to be held in trust for the Lutheran Congregation, and upon which tract was built Hetzel's church." The 1790 census (191(5)) shows Phillip, Adam, Andrew and Benjamin Zerbe living in Pine Grove. Phillip, Benjamin and Adam appear on the same census image (191(8)), suggesting that they lived near each other. I suspect that they are this Phillip and his brother Benjamin. Adam and Andrew may be unknown brothers of Phillip and Benjamin. -- Mark Zerbe Pennsylvania State Archives (http://www.digitalarchives.state.pa.us/index.asp) shows a Philip Zerben in Captain Bretz's Co.
