Margaret Huber was the daughter of John and Margaret Huber. Margaret Huber Burkholder was born near New Holland PA and died in Rockingham Co VA where she lived. I do not know where or when Peter and Margaret were married. Peter was born in Switzerland; his father was Christian Burkholder. Peter immigrated to Rockingham Co VA from PA in the 1780's. After his wife's death, he was visiting in Lancaster PA when he died and he is buried there in the Groffdale Cemetery.
