Sources: This info has been compiled by another researcher, Scott Wallace. I have not had the opportunity to corroborate or independently verify this information. I cannot even verify with certainty that Johann Abraham is Anthony's father.

Wallace citing records of New Goshenhoppen Ref. Cong. Upper Hannover Twp., Montgomery Co., PA and Old Williams Churchyard, Williams Twp, Northampton, PA. The June 6, 1731 date may be a baptism date, not a birth date according to another citation to "Early Pennsylvania Briths 167501875" by Charles A Fisher.
