  • Notes 
    • This couple had ten children.
      Purchased 240 acres in Montgomery Twp., Woodford Co., six miles due north of Danvers.

      “In their early years there, they would walk to church and back, a 40-mile round trip, in one day. The return trip required torches at night. The Gerbers’ were charter memebers of the Rock Creek Church....” [2]
