June 28, 1710- Henry Cunreds and Katherine Trientz Streypers (Streeper) are married at the Friends meetinghouse at Germantown, Pennsylvania. Katherine Streeper is a daughter of William Streypers, one of the Crefelders who came over in the "Concord." The couple are first cousins, Henry's mother being a sister of William Streypers.
A year later the couple buys a strip of land in Whitpain Township not far distant from the Five Points school house called the "Cloot," and there they settled and raised a family of seven sons.
The original marriage certificate of
Henry Cunreds 
and Katherine Streepers, was in the possession of J. Hicks Conrad, of Philadelphia, a lineal descendant. It contains the signatures of fifty witnesses, among whom are six of the thirteen heads of families who came over in the "Concord."
(Henry Cunreds is my seventh great granduncle. Our common ancestors are Thones Kunders & Elin Theisson.)
