A child Andreas, whose parents were Caspar Holtzhauser and Margertha, his wife, was born. Andreas Graber alone was a witness. No wife is mentioned on this or two other church records for Andreas in 1743, so it is believed that his first wife died and he married Gertraut Muss shortly before Philip's birth in 1745.
Notes for Gertraut Muss:
Gertraut had two daughters before her marriage to Andreas Graber. They were Anna Christina Muss and Anna Margaret Muss.
Anna Christina Muss married Carl Doerr 10 Nov 1756 in New Goshenhoppen Reformed Church, Montgomery County, PA (Source: Pennslyvania Church Records Volume III.).

Marriage Notes for Anna Muss and Peter Lawar/Labar:
The records of New Goshenhoppen Reformed Church show that Peter Laub married Creth Muss between 1747 and 1758. Creth is shown in other records as a nickname for Margaret or Margaretta. Later birth records at New Goshenhoppen show Peter Lauer and wife, Margaretta, had two children. It is probably that Peter Laub and Peter Lauer are the same person.
