(Greiss) on a warrant in the year, A. D., 1813, which land was taken and held by said Henry Krise by improvement and actual residence."
This deed is recorded in Deed Book Vol. 8, page 32, the witnesses having been John Zerbe and Thomas Adams.
In another deed of Henry Krise and wife the Rev. John Burns was the grantee, and the consideration was $50.00, for a triangular piece of land containing 152
perches.
That Henry Krise and his wife, Mary Jordan Krise, had an early residence in the St. Augustine parish is proven from the fact that their daughter, Margaret Mary Krise, now Mrs. Margaret Mary Delozier, of 1510 Second Avenue, Altoona, and the oldest living ex-member of the parish, was born near St. Augustine, August 11, 1827. She was baptized by Father Gallitzin, and married to Henry Delozier, now deceased, by Rev. Father Hugh P. Gallagher, they having been the first couple married in the first church in St. Augustine. She now resides with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Maloney, at the address named.

Amongst the earliest settlers of the parish were the Nagles, Burgoons, Weaklands, Adamses, Dawsons, McGoughs and some others.
