We are researching Abraham Greenawalt (c 1745 to 1812-1815), shown as a son of this Greenawalt. We have notes about two other Greenawalt families that might be related to our Abraham Greenawalt. This entry allows us to organize the records for these three Greenawalt families. We have no evidence that the three sons reported here were brothers, or were related to each other.
