Source: Carol Esterhai, The Streepers were part of the Krefeld group and there is a lot of research on them all the way back to early 1500.
Lenart married, 2nd, Margaret Righter and had eight more children:
Jacob, Daniel, William, George, Susanna, Ann m. John Dull, Rebecca
m. James Harvey, and Mary m. Jonathan Jones.
Joan Higgins reports on his will (Montgomery Co., PA. RW 6339) transcribed by Helen Stoller, in "Krefeld Immigrants and Their Descendants", Vol 6, No. 1, Spring 1989, pages 16, 17, 18. Her article is entitled Streeper/Streyper/ Streipers Wills. Joan summerizes: "you will note that he is very careful to call one set of children "my eldest' and the other set of children "my youngest". I believe that the phrase 'my eldest' refers to the children of Rebecca Greathouse and the phrase 'my youngest' refers to the children of Margaret Righter.
The Will of Leonard Streeper, Yeoman, of Whitemarsh Twp., Montgomery Co., PA was made on June 20, 1796. He remembers his wife Margaret and his minor children by setting down a plan for their care. To his three eldest sons, (by his first wife Rebecca Greathouse) John, Peter and Dennis, he gives the sum of 5 pounds sterling and notes that they are already settled on plantations. But the lands given to Peter and Dennis are encumbered by a promise to pay the heirs of "my brother Dennis' immediately after the death of his widow, Margaret, a sum of 83 pounds, 6 shilling and 8 pence. To his 2 eldest daughters, (by his first wife): Sara Johnson and Elizabeth Thomas are paid 75 pounds, within the year after his death, as he has already given them 150 pounds. To his four youngest sons (by his wife Margaret) Jacob, Daniel, William and George all the plantation in Whitemarsh Twp. containing 100 acres more or less, and a plantation in Springfield Twp containing 62 acres, and a Messuage and Lot in Roxborough Twp containing 16 acres also 3/4 of an acre in Springfield Twp.....They are to share and equally divide when George reaches age twenty-one. The lands are subject to a payment of 20 pounds per annum, his wife Margaret (their mother). To his six younger daughters, Ann Dull, Rebecca, Deborah, Mary, Catherine and Susanna Streeper, the sum of one hundred pounds.
