John b 1761 of _____ a weaver and a farmer. Montgomery
seems to mention him in two places as the son of
Jacob and as the son of "Captain Dehart" of Valley
Forge, who joined the Continental Army at 14 and
provided some important intelligence information to
Washington. That was more likely his father.
b 1764 Amity TWP d Exeter, Berks, 1868, aged 104, or
1869 aged 101. Mary/Polly Harner b 1774 d 1859.
