I have done a small amount of research on the Oberdoersters and Pfeifers; however, I am not finding a link for Christina to Allentown. Would love to compare notes.

Re: Decendents of Jacob Foulkrod

maggi258 — 2013-02-18 16:43:10Z

Hello,

There were actually 2 daughters of Jacob Foulkrod and Phebe Moore that married Samuel C Peters.

Samuel C Peters married Margaret (alt: Margaretta) Jane Foulkrod (my great great grandparents). They had 4 children: Walter P Peters (my great grandfather), Frederick Steinback Peters, John Muir Peters, and a stillborn child. Margaret died of pneumonia on 20 Dec 1891 a day after giving birth to their stillborn child- it was a premature birth. She is buried in the Bridesburg Presbyterian Burial Grounds along with her stillborn child.

In 1893, Samuel married Margaret's sister, Mary Emma. Mary Emma had been previously married to James B. Holton and they had 1 child, Ethel E. Holton. It appears as though James died in 1891. Mary Emma and Samuel had 3 children together: Selina Keighly Peters, Leona A Peters and Edna May Peters. Both Selina and Edna died as infants. I have not been able to find out much about Leona. Mary Emma died 18 Nov 1902 of tuberculosis and is buried in Oxford cemetery. Samuel, Selina and Enda are buried in Bridesburg Presbyterian Burial Grounds.

I'd love to hear from any relatives!

I had attached the newspaper article you had placed on ancestry awhile back. I did some research and found the book that is referenced in the article the Sunset and Dusk of the Blue and the Grey for a brand new book they want $844.00 and for a used $189.13. My sister Anita has found it for $99.00 One day I want to get this book to find out what was written about my ggreat Uncle Solomon Jacob Baughman.

This is the link for the Berks County Register of Wills. You can obtain a copy of a will by going to the Courthouse in Reading, or by ordering from the folks at the office. I think they cahrge $1:00 per page. The phone number is (610) 478 6600 Good luck

Re: PA Dutch surnames

Jacob was born in 1796 and this estate file is dated 1804 only 8 years later.

Valentine is a son of Jacob Sarg. Sorrick is just another spelling of Sarg. Thanks

Re: PA Dutch surnames

wlsark11 — 2013-01-07 19:14:42Z

This is a new one for me. How do I go about finding this? Is it something I have to order or get via inter library loan or what?

Re: PA Dutch surnames

mnmtimmons — 2013-01-07 16:28:57Z

There is a Valentine Sorrick of Union Township, Berks County with a 22 page estate file at the Reading Courthouse dated 1804. Have you looked at this? Sounds promising.

Re: PA Dutch surnames

wlsark11 — 2013-01-06 18:58:58Z

This is where I have been stuck for years. My 3great grandfather, Jacob Sarg was b. 1796. I'm not sure if in Berks Co. PA or overseas. He m. Catherine Bernhardt and both are buried in Dunkel Church Cemetery in Lenhartsville, Berks, PA. I have not been able to trace Jacob any further back than this. Any light you may be able to shed on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill Sark

I haven't gotten any further with Heinrich Schmidt and thus I don't know whether or not if I connect with the Johann Heinrich Schmidts in Morris Co, New Jersey. Will have to put that on my to do list. Will post when I get that info. I imagine that you are having lots of fun searching the Smiths, good luck.

Re: Valentine HUFF/HUF/HOFF, Germany >Berks Co > MD > NC

audianaq41 — 2012-10-10 17:55:02Z

Do you have proof that he is brother of Frederick? A few years ago Bill Huff wrote me and suggested such, but we had no proof. He had found on a film at LDS the following:
JOHANN VALENTIN HUFF Born October 5, 1723, Alsenz, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany
Parents: Paulas Huf and Anna Maria Weber
Baptized October 9, 1723, Reformed Church, Alsenz, Germany
Sponsors: Johannes Weber; Valentin Weber; Susanna Maria Elisabetha[Weber].
LDS Film 0193751 located in Los Angeles FHC.

Valentine emigrated on ship Phoenix in 10/1744 arriving in Phila on the 20th from Rotterdam:
ship list: 105) Oct. 20, 1744 . Foreigners imported in the ship Phoenix, William Wilson, Captain, from Rotterdam , last from Cowes .
Valentine HUSS [sic HUFF]

Why would he be Moravian if baptized in Reformed church? His name never appears in records in Berks Co baptizing any children that he and Mary KERST had. I did find they had rented 100 acres of tobacco land in Carroll's Manor (a Moravian area) in Frederick Co MD, rent rolls 1769-1771, before they went down to Rowan Co. I could never find any church records for the family there, either.

Valentine went to NC. He lived in the Berks County, PA area before he left. He belonged to the MOravian Church. His brother was John Frederick Huff whose descendants founded Huff Church.

Nothing like being a day late & a dollar short! In my DOTTERER line I have a Joseph Muthart (1742-1814) marrying Elizabeth Herb (1743-1826). They had a daughter, Anna Maria/Maria Anna or Maria Elizabeth who married Matthias Dotterer (1767-1852). I believe they had the following children: Catharine (1788-1870) m. Jacob Erb; Elizabeth (1790-?); Elizabeth (1793-?); Anna Nancy (1797-1870) m. John Weiand (1) Jaccob Fry (2); Reuben (1799-1850?) m. Magdalena Moser; Rebecca Sarah (1801-1873) m. Jacob Moser; CAIN (1805-1866) m. Catharina Fritsch; Lydia (1807-?) m. Jacob Jackson; Amos (1811-1866) m. Mary Cleaver. CAIN is my GGGF. Any info you might have would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

Believe it or not I just re-discovered your reply to my post in 1999. I believe I missed it years ago because right after this got posted I began my move back to Germany. I don't even remember the posting.

In any case, John and Catherine Long (Braun) were born in Germany and moved to PA where Henry was born Sep 11 1831. I have no idea what county in PA. or a village in Germany In IN Henry and wife Paulina wound up in Rush Cty.

If you are still there perhaps you have some more info.

Re: York Co. Grimm Family

timleighty1 — 2012-09-15 18:09:53Z

I am responding to a rather old post from 1999 requesting information on Jacob Grimm & Margaret (Fixx) Grimm of Dallastown, PA. These were my great grand parents on my mother's side: (My maternal grandmother was Alice Virginia Grimm (married to Isaac N. Klinedinst, who passed away in 1941, she then married George Heilman-2nd marriage) Alice was one of two Grimm daughters of (I believe) 9 total Grimm children, the other daughter was Margaret (Burger married Roy Burger). They had several brothers including but not limited to Clyde, Orb, Jennings, Thomas-Tom, Tyrus, the 7th son might have been Jacob. I am interested in any related information on my maternal grandfather Isaac N. Klinedinst as well as the Grimm family.

Re: NESS, NEHS, RUHL, RUHLE

JamesWoehr — 2012-09-06 19:07:35Z

I am descended from both the Ruhls from York County, PA and Crawford County, OH, and also from the Neases (probably formerly Nehs) from York County, PA (I think - haven't confirmed) and from Richland County, OH, immediately adjacent to Crawford County and Galion.

Re: RUHL

JamesWoehr — 2012-09-06 19:02:51Z

Jacob Ruhl, one of the brothers who surveyed and layed out Galion, OH, was my 3rd great grandfather. Perhaps I can answer some of your questions about that line of Ruhls. I also have a copy of a document titled "The Descendants of Johannes Ruhl," typed by my mother from transcripts brought to a Ruhl family reunion in the 1930s.

Re: Johann Martin Markel and Susannah Ruhl

JamesWoehr — 2012-09-06 18:52:17Z

The Ruhls and Kunkels lived in York County, PA. I have visited and photographed Ruhl graves there, and the Kunkel name showed up as well.

Re: Appolonia - spelling

I think you got this right. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Appolonia Deshler

Franklin_Stahl — 2012-09-05 02:36:29Z

I would like a copy of it. Do you know if it is based on a previous book?

Re: Appolonia - spelling

Diana_Gale_Matthiesen — 2012-09-04 13:32:28Z

Minor point and not relevant to your query, but for the record: Appolonia is a misspelling of Apollonia. It's the feminine form of the name of the Greek god, Apollo.

Re: Appolonia's Maiden Name

JohnSchmeeckle — 2012-09-04 10:41:44Z

I don't know of any evidence that Appolonia's maiden name was Mulholland. On the other hand, I am impressed by the circumstantial evidence (on Franklin Stahl's website) suggesting that her maiden name was MEYER. Regarding the claim that Appolonia was buried at the Egypt Reformed Church cemetery, that has to be a mistake or a fabrication.
