Additional Comments
11 you have allowedd this confusing story thus far, perhaps a few a,
comments are in order.
Walter Noser submi tted a l engthy paper on these fam i ies, pub i i shed

How do we know Peter Pieper was a friend of Friedrich Ernst? How d+
that El i zabeeth Kotter and Casper Simon had a prior common-l aw marr

than six weeks later that his widow married Peter Pieper. Possible
likely?
There are other questions concerning the details of applications foi
certificates, church burial records, probate records, etc. We invicomments +rom any other member or reader who has an interest in and
of these families and events.
