According to my information (see message Peter of Swatara), there were two Booser-Eshelman connections in the generation of Peter of Swatara's grandchildren:
Peter Eshelman, b. 20-03-1782, d. 04-11-1862, married as his second wife a Barbara Booser (no further details) and his sister, Elizabeth (1786-1851)is recorded by Fayette Eshelman as having married "according to court records" a John Booser (no further details), a fact which I did not note in the Peter of Swatara message.I only noted in the POS message that she was married to a Henry Behne, who may have been her cousin. whom she married in May 1802, when she had just turned 16. So John may have been a second husbandIn the POS message I also omitted to note the name of POS's wife : Elizabeth (no further details).If POS did arrive in 1749, as now seems to be the case, he may have married her in Pennsylvania since the birth date of his earliest recorded son , Jacob, is 1757.
Cheers!
