Other names for Henry were Henry Beecher,11 Henry Biecher 8 and Henry Biechert.10 FamilySearch ID: 9C6N-PCM. General Notes: This Henry's modern day family has a Saur Bible printed in 1734 in Germanstown, PA with a brass plaque on the cover inscribed: "Heinrich Bicher" , " Dec. D. 23, 1809." This is before the birth of this Henry, so he has an earlier Henry ancestor, and likely that must be the grandfather of Henry Bicher b. 12 Apr 1828. We have not yet found the missing connections. Birth Notes: The 1870 Census reported his age was 41, indicating he was born about 1829. Christening Notes: Sponsors were Henry Steiner & Polly Schneider. Noted events in his life were: 1.
