  John Brech, "was born in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, about the year 1759, and was married to Catharine Schõrg. They resided in Dauphine County, Pennsylvania, where he followed farming until his death which took place about the year 1802.(Mrs. Samuel Eby related to the writer that she was about 13 years of age when her father died.) In 1806 the widow with her family of four children moved, with others, to Canada and settled in Waterloo County, Ontario, at the present village of Blair, where she resided for some time. Later the family settled on the farm now owned by Gideon Break, a mile south of Breslau. To John and Catharine (Schõrg) Brech were born four children, namely:" Eby, Ezra E. (1895).
