A New Ancestral Link?

I received an email from a fellow researcher a couple of days ago that could well take my Clark - Miller - Hostetler line back a generation!

The info comes from Descendants of Jacob Hochsteller the Immigrant of 1736.

Nicholas Hostetler and his brothers Christian and Ullerich arrived in Philadelphia on 15 September 1749 aboard the Phoenix. Nicholas was born in Glaurus, Glaurus Canton, Switzerland in 1725 and died on his farm near McClellandtown, Fayette Co., PA on 19 December 1795. His wife was Anna _______. Children: Nicholas, Cattey [Riffle], Margaret [Miller], Ann and Jacob.

Margaret married a Mr. Miller. Their children: Lewis, Catherine [Isaac Clark], Sarah [Benj. Miller], Mary [Alexander Sickles], Isaac, Eliza [Daniel Griffis], Ann.

My records have Ellen Hostetler as the wife of Henry Miller. It looks like that was an error. Of course, more research needs to be done, but it looks promising.
