Due to all the conflicts of linking back to G-Grandpa Peter's family I had my DNA run It appears my G-Grandpa Peter was never documented in the family history books.

The Roush/Rausch family historians are working on documenting Grandpa Pete's line.

Thank God DNA has evolved.

My DNA also links back to the following:

Michael Pence (1738 - 1799)
Sybilla Isabella Frye and Pence Davidson (1751 - 1857)

Johannes Adam Roush/Rausch (1711 - 1786)
Susannah Sehler Roush (1713 - 1796)

Peter Johan Pence (1768 - 1832)*
Susannah Roush Pence (1770 - 1851)

Johann Ludwig Zirkle (1705 - 1747)
Maria Eva Bear Zirkle (1709 - 1771)
