This is very preliminary and has some assumptions. Any additions or corrections are appreciated. John Peter Sayn sponsored a baptism at Keller's church in 1751. The below sources are the main ones used however other sources such as sponsoring baptisms of other family members and non-members were also used. Different census data putting these family members in the same location at the same time were also considered. I BELIEVE the immigrant listed at the end of this message MAY BE John Peter Sayn in Bucks county PA. Noticeably missing are any daughters. I have almost completed the next three generations. I should be able to start posting those soon.
