Pontius-Related Church Records from Pennsylvania
Aaronsburg Lutheran Church (Records of Protocol Book - excerpt) Aaronsburg, Centre County, PA http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb (contributed by Jillian C. Ingold, ingoldji@msu.edu)
Zion (Blue Mountain) Church Near Straustown, Upper Tulpehocken Township, Berks County, PA
The baptisms from 1753 on were probably performed by Ludwig Lupp. Earlier baptisms were entered in Ludwig Lupp's hand but it is unlikely he performed them. This is not necessarily a comprehensive list.
* Most people believe that this George was the son of John & Anna Catherine Zeller Pontius. This baptismal record was copied correctly from the transcript, but the transcript could be in error, as could the original handwritten record. Nicholas had a later child named George (bapt. 1770), and it is unusual for a later child to be named the same as a surviving older child. In addition, the transcript states that the early baptisms were probably not performed by Ludwig Lupp, and he could have erred when hand-copying another minister's baptismal records.
