Buried at Conewago Chapel,Hanover, PA
Children's names and spouses included in final accounting for John's will, 21 August 1815.
Some difference of opinon as to birth date year; as his age (Y M D) is below ground

He could be the youngest son of Christian and Anna Barbara Gah Sturm of the Schifferstaft Sturms from Frederick, MD. The family was Catholic in Germany but only John remained a Catholic in the USA. Barbara's age makes this questionable.
