Individual Details
Abraham Herr Junior
(25 Jun 1700 - 5 Sep 1785)
Abraham Herr, Jr. became a naturalized British citizen on 14 February 1729/1730, although he never signed the Declaration of Loyalty.
Who is wife, or wives, is confused.
Darvin Martin and Theodore Herr contend that both Feronica Miller and Anna Martin are wives of Abraham. However, .J. Melvin Eby listed Anna Martin and Feronica Miller as wives of different Abraham Herrs (father and son).
In J. Melvin Eby's listing Abraham Herr (1700-1785) and Anna Miller had a son Abraham Herr (died 1803), who married Fanny Martin. See Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage, October 1998, page 34.
To add to the confusion, Theodore Herr gave Abraham's wife's surname as "Witmer," and Allan Garber gave no surname for Abraham's one wife, Anna/Anely.

Notes
Death
Abraham Herr may have died in 1803. This is the date that J. Melvin Eby gave for a son, also names Abraham, but I think the two Abrahams are the same person.Probate
