Hello, I am new to all of this, but I have quite a bit of information that a great aunt researched. I agree with you regarding the age of Conrad Sr. when he fought. Do we know when he was born for certain. Also, she lists here that Conrad Jr. had children...and some they were born after Conrad Sr. died. Please let me know what you think of all this...I have pleny more too. She did quite a bit of research. I have just never looked at it. I look forward to hearing from you! This is a bit of what she wrote: Conrad Blose came to PA from Ge. Rupps'"Thirty Thousand Names Of immigrants who came to the Province from the ship Francis and Elizabeth. He settled in Heidelberg Township Northampton Co now Washington township, Lehigh Co., PA As early as Oct 4 11749, he took out a warrant for 25 acres of land in Bucks County. Between the years1750 and 1766, he purchased the following tracts at carious times: Issneberg, Mannheirm, Berlin and Schawahenstadt, totaling 306 acres.
