'George Bechtel [son of George and Maria Bechtel], b. 19 Feb 1746. d. 17 Sep 1828, Blair, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. md Elizabeth Morris. Some believe that this George may be the son of Abraham (b. c1710) of Hereford Township, but there is no record of Abraham having a son named George and there is proof that George (b. c1700) had a son born in the 1740s and was taxed at Hereford Township and then disappears from Hereford Township. He was taxed at Colebrookdale Township in 1773 next to his brother Jacob and then gone.'
