You have added several members of the Peter Biehl (b. 1726) family to Find a Grave. While researching my ancestor, Johan Nicolas Biehl (b. ca. 1740 Germany m. by J. Casper Stoever in 1766 to Elisabetha Kuefer d. 1790 Wash. Co, MD) - I found a reference to a German birth record that is probably the Peter you put on Find a Grave as b. 2 Mar 1726. I suspect all his descendants are looking for this info so I thought I would pass it along. It is at the same church in Reichenbach (near Jettenbach) that appears to be an ancient Biehl stronghold.

The record is for the birth of Peter Biehl b. 21 Mar 1726, son of Peter Biehl and Anna Elisabeth Schneider. The church book indicates this family went to Pennsylvania in 1738. Here is a link to the site (it's in German) https://gedbas.genealogy.net/person/show/1058526819

Interestingly, a Johan Nicolas Biehl was born 1744 to a Peter and Anna Catherina Biehl and baptised at the same church that I believe is mine. (LDS records).

Since the other Peter Biehls were gone to America by then, my Nicolas must be a cousin of some sort to them. I'm sure a German researcher could figure it out, but for now it will have to stay on the "to do" list.
