- ↑ Rudolph Behm, as "Trustee 1745 Penn-Hernley Transfer" apparently refers to the Warrant issued in 1745 to John Lemon, Rudy Behme and Jacob Lighter for 25 acres for the use of the Mennonite Congregation in Rapho Township of Lancaster County.
The church is most likely the Hernley Mennonite Church, just north of present day Manheim, first built in 1745 "on land contributed by the Penns" [1]. Manheim is in Rapho Township, but was not laid out until 1762, and not incorporated until 1838.[2] The church is about 2 to 2.5 miles[3] walking distance from White Oaks, the neighbourhood where both Rudy Behm and Jacob "Lighter" lived.
