    Notes:

    From jrknarrSat Jan 24 21:58 EST 1998

    Hi Tim,
    I recall that at the workshop last spring when I first met you, you kindly
    pointed out Burgert's book on Emigrants from the Northern Alsace. I just
    about purchased her book while attending her session but decided in the end
    to pass on the purchase. I now regretnot having it in my possession.
    Well, guess what...while attending Gentech conference in Ft. Wayne
    yesterday, I went to the library to take another look atthis book, a most
    valuable resource for our purposes. Looking at the same information again,
    I was startled to recognize our Abraham's wife Maria Eva on page 566.
    Burgert simply fails to connect "Abraham Kuchen or Kuohren" to the Abraham
    Knoerr she had already identified on page 302. As I recall, adding the
    suffix -in to a name is distinctly Swiss syntax, isn't it?

    On page 566 the following information can be found:
    Emigration: ca. 1741
    Residence: Berg
    Maria Eva's father: Andreas Fass [a is umlauted; I have also seen Fahs]
    Maria Eva's mother: Anna nee Eichenberger
    Maria Eva's birthdate: Oct 12, 1713 at Berg, Berg and Thal Lutheran KB
    Maria Eva's confirmation: 1728 at Diedendorf [five years before Abraham's
    in same church]

    Inventory of Anna Eichenberger Faess, dated Jun 26, 1766: "the eldest
    daughter Maria Eva Faess and her husband Abraham Kuchen or Kuohren [sic!]
    have moved to the New Land 25 years ago with manumission."
    There are more references to the Faess/Fahs family members on pp. 149, 150,
    357, 358.

    On page 358, we learn that Maria Eva's sister Anna Dorothea married Jacob
    Martin and emigrated on the ship Windsor, 1753. Jacob Martin, son of Jacob
    Martin, was confirmed at Buetten Lutheran.

    These church records appear to confirm our suspicions that Abraham's wife
    was not Vogelsang and that Abraham did not hail from the immediate
    Pirmasens-Zweibruecken area. And if you take a look at all that sponsor
    information you have accumulated one discovers that most of those families
    were from the northern Alsace areatoo (Biber, Scheuer, Quirin, Clauss,
    Eschbach, Obel, Onstott,Traxel, Stettler, Balliet, Dormeyer, Bachman, Acker,
    etc.)
    The towns of Diedendorf, Berg, Thal, Buetten, Altwiller where Christofel
    Obel was from, etcetera, are all just afew miles distant from one another.
    This is an area about 40 miles northwest of Strasbourg,just 5-10 miles south
    of Sarre-Union, and approx. 35 miles southwest of Zweibruecken. If we
    accept the authenticity and accuracy of this dataso far, we must once again
    acknowledge that the birthplace and parentage of Abraham still eludes us.
    But we seem to be getting closer! At least, for me, the feel, the look, the
    smell, the flavor seems right.

    Best regards, John

    The most complete analysis of the Hartman's is

    George W Hartman

    Also, Hartman (notes), 929.2 Part 2 (also mentions 'extra' Hartmans)

    As proposed in the Sauerwein book, it appears that Johannes was married twice
    and perhaps only mentionsthe daughter of his first marriage in the will. Seeing the
    span of children,this seems right on the mark, to me. Having a child at age
    48 is possible, but I think two wives makes more sense than not. I've taken the liberty
    to arbitrarily pick the gap bef 1750 as the mark between the two wives...

    in Rev Blumer records:
    died, Elisabeth Catharine Hartman, mother/Jacob Hartman, age 75 years
    8 Oct 1783

    Is there a chance that John's first wife was still around? Perhaps Jacob was
    older and she was living with him?
