=================
The Lehigh County Historical Society records Peter as the builder of the Troxell-Steckell house. However, this begs the question, who is Maria Magdala? Was Peter's wife names Anna Maria Magdala, or was this a different Peter?
1756
God protect this house
against all danger;
Guide our soul to Heaven's hall.
Johan Peter Trachsel
(his wife) Maria Magdelana
