I am trying to find any information on a John Adam Ilgen and his daughter Anna Catharine Ilgen. What I do know is that they were father/daughter and that John Henry Heist, lawful son of Alexander Heust, Mayor of Pfaffen Berfurth, was born 20/26 Jan 1721, married on 08 April 1741 to Anna Catharine Ilgen, lawful daughter of Johann Adam Ilgen of Uttermosten. Anna Catharine was born 24 June 1724 and died 19 March 1811. John Henry Heist died 29 April 1804. They had thirteen children which were: Anna Margaret, Frederick, Johan Melchoir, Johann, Eva Catharine and infant son all born in Germany. John George, Henrich, Elias, Johan Phillip, Leonhart, Fridena Margeth and Johan Peter were born in PA. The infant son died at sea and was buried in Philadelphia upon their arrival in America.
If anyone is willing to share any connecting Ilgen info, I would appreciate it. Joan Adam Ilgen would be my 7th great-grandfather. My e-mail address is:
