I believe Johannes probably followed his 1/2 sisters, Barbara and Anna to America about 1723, on his fathers death, November 24, 1725 at Weierhof, Johannes did not inherit his fathers land though he was his Eldest son.

By 1725, Johannes was gone (to America I think). Johannes named his eldest son Peter (after his father) and 2 daughters, Babara and Anna after his 1/2 sisters I beleive. The first records of Johannes are as a "freeman" in Conestoga in 1727 also 1724/25. He applied for his original land warrant in August 9, 1734, this land was in Manheim Township, Lancaster (Chester) County along the Little Conestoga Creek. On his death in September 1766 this land was split between his sons, Peter and John Graybill. John sold his portion and moved to Mahantango Twp, Northumberland County settling near Richfield which was founded by his son, Christian.
