Research Notes:
From Floyd's History Of Northumberland County -
Johann Peter Fetherolf. ancestor of the Northumberland county branch of the family, was born June 30, 1 T 7 4 . in Hereford township. Berks county, and was one of the six children of Peter Federolf. son of the emigrant Peter Federolf. mentioned in the tetter's will. He came to this region by his marriage and here wedded Anna Maria Dunkelberger, who was born Sept. 2. 1772. They lived for some years in Cameron township, where their children were born, later settling on a large farm in Upper Mabantango township, across th line in Schuylkill county, which Mr. Fetherolf purchased from a man named Carl, who got the best of the bargain. He did not tell Fetherolf that there was a mortgage upon the property, which he (Fetherolf) was obliged to pay. so that the transaction proved an expensive one. Nevertheless, he became a most successful man. and by the time of his death had accumulated a large estate. His original tract in Upper Mahantango township is now divide into three farms, the one on which the first sel of buildings was erected, and on which Johann Peter Fetherolf, lived, being now the property of William Mattern. When he came to the Mabantango Valley the Mahantango creek was alive with fine fish, and he and his family found them an acceptable addition to the larder in those days when variety in food could not always be obtained even by the well-to-do. Johann Peter Fetherolf died Nov. 2. 1848, his wife on Feb. ;. 1S53. and they are buried at the Salem (Herb) Church, Located immediately across the Northumberland county line in Schuylkill county, where some of their children also rest.

His ten children were: Samuel, Peter, John, Joseph, George, Joseph ('.!). Daniel, .Mrs. Josiah Geist, .Mrs. Joseph Dunkelberger and Mrs. John Zimmerman.
