• Notes

  Became owner of a farm called "Giebelmoos". Was an elder of the Neutaefer Church until excommunicated. He was single at the time of the reading of the will. He was also a farmer at nearby Moserli as were his descendants into at least the late 1900's. [5] There appears to be a story about this Peter Gerber on page 393 in "Geschichte der bernischen Täuffer".
