William3 Arner (Felix2, Ulrich1), born about 1766 in Whitehall, Northampton (now Lehigh), Pennsylvania;  married about 1792 in Heidelberg, Northampton (now Lehigh), Pennsylvania to MAGDALENA KRUMM(E)(also from son Henry’s Taufschein, privately owned by great-grandson Marvin Davis as of 1999) who was born about 1770 in Heidelberg.

He was a farmer. On 27 May 1798, “William Arner of Lynn” [in Northampton County, Pennsylvania] purchased land at Mahanoy Creek [in Penn, Northampton (now West Penn, Schuylkill), Pennsylvania] from Yost Shelhamer (Schuylkill Deed Book 307, page 436). “In 1798”(K), they moved to Penn Township; where he was a taxpayer in 1799(E). Biography in Lehigh County History(E).

They first appear on a surviving List of Communicants (Reformed congregation) at Ben Salem Church in Penn, Northampton (now East Penn, Carbon), Pennsylvania on 18 May 1806(41)[but they were probably members there before that].
