I hope this helps but there are holes.My oldest ancestor in this line is Johann Dietrich Gries m Maria Magdalena Graff.He was born 11/10/1754.Their graves are in Womelsdorf PA.Their children Ann Margaret no dates, ? m Geo. Doppen, John, William m Priscilla Meyer, Jacob m. Catherine Kiser(Kaiser) sp?.The William and Priscilla Meyer marriage had 6 children William (an episcopal minister), John and architect killed in the civil war, Lemiel a lieutenant killed in the civil war., Margaret, Mary and Clara.the family had been moved to Reading PA in 1838 by the Father who was an MD.All are buried in Reading PA in a cemetary.The cemetary was endowed by Clara in her will.The Jacob and Catherine Kiser marriage had seems to have 11 children, Adam, MAry, Rebecca, Priscilla, Jacob, Catherine (died as a young woman) Eliza, George, John, Harry and Jemima. I don't know if any of these lead in your direction, but if you want more info let me know.
