Patent P-2-499
John Kreider
I have found no solid evidence that this is the same John Kreider mentioned above. However, it seems likely that they are the same person. John had 155 acres in what is now North Annville Township surveyed for him in 1761. He sold this land to Adam Ulrich who received the patent for it in 1762.
