Many of the early settlers in Northumberland County (later Snyder County) relocated from Berks County. There is evidence that the Kern family that ended up around Beavertown, PA settled in the eastern part of Pennsylvania for a few years. Yost Kern may have spent a few years in Berks County, before settling in Northumberland County in 1772.
