---------------------------------------
Henry Sr. and his sons John and Samuel are each indexed in the 1790 census as follows on images on FamilySearch.org: image 252 Henry Becher; on image 248 his son John Beher; on image 249 his son Samuel Beeher. Sons Frederick, William and Peter are not found so they were living with Henry Sr.
These 1790 census record pages don't identify the township, but we know it is Germany Township because on the same pages are the Klein/Kline/Little family that founded Littlestown as well as families related to the Beechers: Winterode/Winrode, Sell, etc.

2. She appeared as a sponsor at a baptism on 2 Apr 1791 at Littlestown: St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Adams, PA. Catharine was a sponsor for the baptism of her daughter's daughter. From the church record book: "Cathr. Reck of Christian and Sophia; b. Jan 11 1791; bapt. Apr 2 1791; spon: Cathr. Bücherin, grandmother of the child." 4

3. Census in 1800 in Germany Twp., Adams, PA. 5 Several related families appear on the same Census page in 1800 in Germany Township. (The Beechers were recorded as Beahers.)

William Beaher has this household:
Males (born)
16-25 (1775-1784) = 1 (his brother Peter)
26-44 (1756-1774) = 1 William

On the same census page are several allied family surnames that marry the Buecher/Beecher families:
