5th Great Grandfather Philip Bleiler

I found somethings that he was born in either 1755 or 1760 he was married to Eva Rosina NOLL/NOEL and had 6 children 1 daughter Eva Catherine and 5 sons Jacob,Johann but i think he went by his middle name Michael mostly,John,Daniel and Samuel

 

and i found this newspaper clipping

Taken from Lebannon,PA newspaper Aug 18 1976

Philip and Eva Bleiler of Alsace Twp., Berks Country,Pa were early settlers in Lower Mahantongo Twp.,Schuylkill Co.,Pa Prior to their move to that area they had baptized three sons at the Schwartzwald Church in Exeter Township,Herks Co. and one at Trinity Lutheran in Reading.In 1807 Peter and Philip Bleiler and his wife Eva had purchased land from William Witman Jr. in Schuylkill Co. and by 1814 according to tax records,this land was turned over to three sons of Philip Bleiler,namely Michael,Daniel and John. It is believed that Philip and Eva Bleiler had five sons and one daughter.Jacob Bleiler b. 1785;Michael Bleiler b. 1788;John 1790; Daniel. 1793;and Samuel, 1799 the latter believed to have died young.From tax records it appears that Jacob died about 1825 and was never married.Daniel lived somewhat longer,but it is believed he was also never married.Michael Bleiler and his wife Mary,are believed to have migrated to western Pennsylvania,possibly Clarion Co.,about 1835. The only known Bleiler daughter. Catharine,was married to James Philips.They lived in the same area of Schuylkill County as her parents,but also moved about the mid 1830s. Does anyone know if they went to western Pennsylvania with Michael and his wife?In the early land purchase dated 1807,Peter,Philip and Eva Bleiler were the owners.Was Peter the father,or brother, of Philip?He appears but a short time on the tax lists and then disappears.Again,does anyone know the facts of his existance as to who he married,dates born,died,etc?
