My 5th great-grandfather was recently proven to be a Revolutionary War Patriot by the Daughters of the American Revolution. We currently have an application into the Sons of the American Revolution to establish the same for their organization. In prepping documentation for both organizations, I created a chart of Leonard's family that I'd like to share with any of his decendents.
Children of Magdalen Kupser and Leonard Litzinger

Conewago Chapel2 and Leonard Litzinger will3

* Eve Litzinger birth year of 1785 is estimated from 1800
census. Family relocated from Berks County to York/Adams County between 1784
and 1785 according to tax records. Theories:
A) Eve’s
baptism is not recorded in Goshenhoppen Registers due to failing health of
Father Ritter’s failing health “registers kept by him during the last two years
of his life from 1785-1787 are missing.” [Goshenhoppen
Resisters pg 122]
B) The
surviving records from Conewago Chapel seem to begin in 1791, long after Eve’s
birth, hence no record of her baptism.
