Tanya,
From Salem Lutheran and Reformed Congregations, Moore Township, Northampton County, PA 1774-1840:
Peter Pfaff b. 13 June 1809 bapt. 30 July 1809
Parents: Henrich and Magdalena
I believe this to be the birth record of my ancestor Peter Pfaff (later spelled Poff). My Peter is listed in the 1850 census in Northumberland County, PA:
Peter Pfaff 41
Sarah.......39
Joseph......16
George......11
Peter........8
Jacob........6
Sarah........4
Savilla......1 Twin
John.........1 Twin (My ancestor)
Notice the wife's name is Sarah. Also, the age of the oldest child would make a 1834 marriage a possibility. I think we have a match! There are other Peter Poff's born around this time, but there is much circumstantial evidence that would suggest that the Peter who ends up in Northumberland County is the Peter in the Nazareth marriage record.
