I believe this Abraham Witter 1786-1820 was the son of John Michael Weider or Witter (1746-1787). John was the son of Christofel (Christoph Widder/Witter and wife Christina Royer/Roeser. John was born in Cocalico, Twp., Lancaster Co. and his wife was Catherine Volkman. Abraham is said to have an obit 2 Mar. 1882 Fulton Co., PA Republican Newspaper. tptreeshaker@yahoo.com
Sorry, Teresa - I somehow missed this notification until today.
But yes, that's probably the obit I have on the WikiTree profile as "unsourced" - I've just had trouble making the obituary details square with the records.
For example, Abraham was born in 1786, and John died in 1787 - but the obit says that Abraham "came with his father to Franklin county when eleven years of age."
I just need to spend some time digging into these folks!
