I know that my gr gr gr gr grandfather, Gerig Heinrich KARR, b.1721 in Schwaigern to Hans Jacob KARR & Dorothea Haffner ended up marrying Sarah Beidert "Peterson", who was born in either Basel or Zurich Switzerland. Her father was Johann Jacob Beidert in Switzerland and on the boat, but somehow it became PETERS/ON in VA, possibly in PA. He was born in Basel. Sarah's mother was Sarah Mohler, born Switerland. The parents were married there.
Gerig Heinrich KARR aka Henry Carr and Sarah Beidert Peterson were both in PENN, KARRs in Berk Co, Beidert/Petersons were in LANCASTER. The married and moved to AUGUSTA CO. 1750. That area became HAMPSHIRE and HARDY, and today it's Petersburg W.V. area, Petersburg named after
Johann Jacob, who owned alot of land there.
