Anne,Our ancestors Friedrich Wilhelm & Maria Elisabeth Johanna (ISHEIM) ADERHOLD came from Prussia to York, PA, between 1772 and 1775.We have identified other ADERHOLD immigrants to the U.S., including your Christian, but have established no link between any of them and our line to date.As far as we have been able to determine, our ancestor is the only one with the ADERHOLD name to have gone to the South (NC), while the other lines remained in the North or moved into the Midwest, the West, and Southwest.So any ADERHOLD (variously spelled) found in the South before, say, World War II is in all likelihood a descendant of our Frederick and Elizabeth through one of their three surviving sons (a fourth son evidently died young).Hope this response is of some use to you at this late date -- thanks for your post.John Mallory Land
