2. | STALEY, Christian was born in 1730 in Canton Berne, Guggisberg, Switzerland (son of STALEY, Ulrich and Anna); died on 12 Jul 1797 in Lancaster County, PA. Notes:
This is his father because in the 1800 census Christian Staley 1768 is listed as a "Jun" junior. That would make his father also Christian.
In the same township - Elizabeth - shows a Christian 45 and over with a son 16 thru 25, wife 45 and over and 2 daughters ages 16 to 25 on the 1800 census.

A few lines later the list of heirs included Christian GERBER and Kedy(? ) KOBER. I was researching the GERBER line, but thought that the list of spouses would be o f interest to others as well.
