June 1710, Pennsylvania

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."
