  Family	Henrietta Bierbower,   b. estimated 1750
  Married	My father died about 40 years ago. My younger brother, who lived with him at the time, took care of all papers father had saved. In looking over them I found this old letter written by your grandfather to his father. Casper Bierbower said he then lived with my father whose name also was Casper. ... My father had but one brother, Henry, your grandfather. They had four [sisters], all married. The names of the brothers-in-law, Barmes, Ashenfelter, Eleazer John, and Joseph Higgins. My father and his brother Henry, from what I have learned, were partly raised by Ashenfelter... I am the only one living of father's family and am now in my 75th year. excerpt of letter written 10 Sep 1891 by G A Bierbower to ?Austin Bierbower, HOB p. 30 I believe Henrietta belongs with the Casper who is father of these children. His sale of land to Eleazer John implies a familal relationship. It's also probable she is a 2nd wife.
