I cannot imagine where that myth started.
They, like so many other Pennsylvania
Germans moved to an area where the land
was cheap. Their daughter, Sarah Ann, who
married Jacob Yeager, was my great-grand-
mother. I grew up in WVA, not very far
from Crab Botto, now Bluegrass. John had
served in the Penn. troops during the
Revolution; and his side won. Because the
family was not loyalist, there was excuse
for persecution.
