My search begins in Somerset Co.PA. around 1800. My gggrandfather Conrad Brandt, b.about 1799 in Somerset began a lifelong friendship with Jeremiah Hochstetler, b. 1786 also in Somerset. They both moved to Ohio and both married around 1820. Jeremiah married Elizabeth Brandt. (She may have been Conrad's sister, but I can't prove this) He later remarried to Mary Forney.
Conrad married Magdaline Rhinehart. He later remarried to Martha Hochstetler. (Jeremiah's daughter by Mary Forney)
They both ended up in Winnesheik Co. (Canoe Creek) IA. (now Decorah) around 1850.
Conrad's son, Eli married Catherine Hochstetler (also one of Jeremiah's daughters).
There are many twists and turns in these lines.
I am interested in anything relating to these two families around 1800 and before in Somerset,Pa as this is my "dead end" of the Brandt line. Any info or references you may want to share would be greatly appreciated.
If there is any info I could provide please feel free to contact me.
