Notes for Johan Nicolaus Gerst
This family group on "Our Garst Family", pp.15-16.

Christening p. 10B (see Notes for his father), as Johan Nicolaus s/o Theobald Gerst and his wife Magdalena.

Johan Nicolaus arrived in Philadelphia 27 Sep 1749 on the ship "Isaac" with his wife, and settled near Jonestown, Bethel twp, Lancaster Co., on Little Swatara creek.
Notes for Mary Elizabeth (Statthalter ?)
The maiden name and birth year for Johann Nicolas Gerst's wife is from various other people's charts and books. Often it appears with a question mark on the surname. It is very widely disseminated (e.g., the Garst Family book, a Peffley book, several Frantz books), but none of the places that I've seen it list any original source, so they may all just be quoting from each other.
