In correspondence with l.. s. Lich.
Of Trlxlertown, Ia, and A.
+. Lichtenwaner, Of Monroe, Wis,
I'm informed that a John LiChtenwal
ler obtained patent Of confirmation
'or a tract Of laud IN Lehigh county,
Pa, In l752 This John has three
yrandsons living. Johanathan, at
Weayersville, Pa; Asa, at Bath, Pa,
md Peter, at Monroe, Wis. Peter
,tates that his grandfather had n
lrother who crossed the Alleghenies
md was never heard Of atterward.
From this we conclude that Abraham
vas u brother OF John. BY q more
minute research II is probable that Mt
,he next reunion more authentic his.
,ory than mere tradition can be oh.
aimed to prove that Abraham and John
we're brothers.
] append the names md postonce

Iohn, the supposed brother of Abra.
