Notes:

...The Michael family traditional history tells us that three brothers living in Prussia: David; Aaron; and Daniel decided to emigrate to America for religious freedom. In Holland, Daniel married a Dutch girl named Catherine and the couple had a son named Nathaniel. Aaron never married.
...David Michael was appalled by the way the Finnish Dutch were treating the Indians and settled in Germantown near Philadelphia. Later he married a Delaware/Shaconee Indian and began to live with the Indians in Pennsylvania. They lived at Shomoken in North Cumberland County. They later moved to Huntingdon Co. where they settled near Frankstown at an Indian village. Their son, John George Michael, was born about 1735 and married Margaret Coleman on October 23, 1735. David's grandson Peter Michael, was born in 1782 and married Catherine Fetters.
...The Michael history tells us that Peter became an important Indian war chief due to his white ancestry. He was considered notorious by some. He is known to have lived in the Indian village in 1790 and 1800 when Congressional records were made. Since Peter and his Indians had fought for the Revolution with the promise of eventual rule over the other tribes, he was given the Ohio land as compensation, while the Indians received nothing.
...The land grant farm was located near the Tuscarawas River and was inhabited by many Delaware/Shaconees and some Seneca Indians. The Indian capitol and largest settlement of the Chustion/Delaware/Shaconees was just down stream.
...Peter and Catherine's house was located in what became Carroll County and remained in the family until 1924 when it was sold to the Greer Beatty Brickyard. the old log milkhouse built at the time the land was cleared for the farm was still in use in the early 1920's.

Peter married Catherine Fetters about 1801 in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, United States. Catherine (daughter of George Fetters and Elizabeth Switzer) was born in 1771 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, British Colonial America; died in 1861 in Carroll County, Ohio, United States.
