" Peter Book was of German descent,
and came from Northampton Co., Pa.
Pittsburgh, from which place he came to what
is now Wayne Twp., in 1796-7. He brought
his wife and probably three children with
him. He first built a log cabin on the bottom
Beaver river, and afterwards came up the
hill to a spot near where Mr. McConahy's house now stands, where he built a 2nd house.
Mr. Book died in August, 1844, aged seventy-nine years, and his wife died in January
1845, aged seventy-seven. Their daughter, Catherine, born April 1, 1798 is yet living. She
was married to James Glenn, whose father was an early settler Plain Grove Township. "

Wuerrtemburg is near Heidelberg, and Stuttgart, Germany. They were members
of the Luthern Society. Rev. John Dreibach states that John and Christianna were
"poor as to worldly estates, yet were much respected by all who knew them best,
because of their integrity, friendly disposition, and piety. Grandfather lived 85 and
grandmother 97 years, & their last end was peace. My grandfather, George Books
(as this name became thus spelled in english), had by former marriages several
children, among the rest, Jacob, Conrad, and John, half brothers of my mother;
among these have resided for many years in Upper Canada. And besides there
was one full brother to my mother, George, Junior, who resided in Butler County,
Pa., on slipperyrock, 15 miles north of Harmony. Anna Books was married to
Michael Schock, Christina to William Emory, and Barbara to Christian Wolf.
Schock's wife died in Youngstown, Union County, Pa. Wolf and his wife died in
Seneca County N.Y. Emory and his wife lived near uncle George Books. All
these have left children and some are settled in different directions.
" ( from " A short Family History and Genealogical Statement, Martin Dreisbach,
Senior, and his Decendants ", He and Christianna are buried in the Dreisbach
Cemetery, Union County, Pa. (then Northcumberland County) Johannes was
