Peter
Shelter
Peter Shelter was a German and the father of John
Shelter.
Peter was married three times
1) Agnes Snider
2) Liza Stropp 3)
Mary Surabaiger (unsure of spelling).
According to the 1850 census Peter was a cooper and was born about
1801 in Germany.
In 1850 he was married to Elizabeth (Liza ?) and had two children in
the household Sarah age 15 and Martha age 5 or 3.
1850 Pennsylvania Cumberland Co. upper Dickson township
pg. 109.
Peter Shelter 49 cooper born in Germany, Elizabeth Shelter 36
born in Pa., Sarah 15, Martha 5 or 3
Since John Shelter was born in Germany Liza Stropp was most
likely not his mother since she was born in Pa. and if that is true it
seems that Agnes Snider might be his mother.
