• _UID: 907B8AA1D3D945C88FFD3133457978607536

Notes:

the reasons for putting her here are:
- not sure if last name is Mayer or Maurer. son Joel Wolf's county death rec says Moure
- first sponsor was Maria Barbara Maurer
- Adam Maurer is only one in Whitehall at this time
- Adam had adaughter Maria Magdalena born the right year

OK, now confirmed she's d/o Adam Maurer. Name in Orphans Court records in York Co.

Notes:

Note - I have her born in Germany, but based on the lenght of a boat trip, one
might think she was born at sea. That assumes that this Catharine is the daughter of
Johannes Sassemanausen.

Note: I'm just guessing she's a Sassamenhausen. I see the sponsors and it makes
me wonder. So this is a working theory only - no strong data or feelings on this one.

consider:
the only Sassamenhausen's at either Neffs or Heidelberg are Peter and Maria Magdalena
Sassamanhausen there for an Adam Maurer baptism (ie they seem to be visiting to a
church outside of where they live.

that Peter Maurer disappears from here and one reappears at Moselem with a
Sassemenhausen. That is it seems that Peter later married a Sassemenhausen.
His wife dies and he remarries which is consistent with John's daughter Magdalena
being dead when his will was made in 1801.

Peter then has sponsors of Frederick Kramer (known son-in-law of John S.) and
Elisabeth Sasseman (a known name of a daughter of John)

Jacob Maurer also ends up in Greenwich Twp (where John S. lived).

Mary,

I went to the PA Room earlier today and this is what I found on the
Slagles Tim was interested in.

Christopher Storm
born July 4, 1747 died Sept 12, 1831 at 84y 3m8d
buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery
no obit listed

his wife Catharine
born about 1747 died Feb 2, 1829 at 81y 4m 3d
buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery
obit has her listed as Mrs. Christian (Catharine) Slagle, Adams Co, in
the "Hanover Guardian" dated Feb 10, 1829, died Feb 2nd at 82y

"John" George
born July 5, 1777 died Apr 28, 1851 at 73y 9m 23d
buried at Mt.Olivet Cemetery
no obit listed

wife Catharine Barbara
born Sep 14, 1774 died Aug 21, 1855 at 80y 11m7d
buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery
obit has her listed Catharine Barbara, Adams Co., died Aug 21st 80y 11m
7d, in "Hanover Spectator" Aug 31, 1855

I did not make copies of the obits. Didn't know if Tim wanted them
or not. I do havecopies on the info listed above. I can give you those
on Friday if needed.

I went to the Mt.Olivet Cemetery two summers ago. I saw Henry
Slagle's tombstone. There were others there too but I don't remember who
they were. Christopher, George and their wives may be right there with
him. I remember reading about a mausoleum put up for the Slagle's
themselves or put up in their memory. Can't remember. I saw the
mausoleum and it is very near where Henry is buried. All you have to do
is turn around from Henry's and you'll see it.

This should help Tim
Diane

note - in LDS records, a Catharine Sassaman married a Jacob Keeley in 1779, Berks
(who is this?) (no, that is d/o Hermanus, married Jacob Kuehly at Falk. Swamp Ref)

Note, based on the age of Adam, one would think Adam could have been married
in Germany and had children before being married to Catharine. Age is from ship list
I believe. I still wonder if maybe he was in fact younger when he came over.

Hollenbach, 929.2 Misc at Lehigh Co Hist Soc

In Immigrants from Western Palatinate (in appendix), mentions Meissenheim records:

also, Johannes Maurer of Becherbach leaves for America, 1741
(so I think this is our Adam here)

notes on the Kocher family (relations?) (see world connect on rootsweb)
From Peter Baillet , Nancy, Lorraine, France, on Nov 23 1998:

"On Sep. 26, 1737 three Kocher families landed in Philadelphia :
1. GeorgeKocher and his wife Anna Maria nee Zurbruck;

2. Nicholas Kocher, his wife Anna Barbara nee Koehl, their son
John Nicholas (bap. Dec. 21, 1727) and their four daughters
Anna Eva (bap. Dec. 14, 1725),
Anna Elizabeth (bap. Jan. 2, 1732),
Anna Christina (bap. Dec. 12, 1735) and
Anna Barbara (bap. Apr. 21, 1737);
(married before 1710?)
(A Christ and William Wotring)

3. Martin Kocher (son of Johannes Kocher and of Anna nee Mertz) and his wife Sara ROSE,
daughter of Abraham ROSE from Schalbach, Lorraine. Martin and Sara had married
on Jan. 3, 1737. They settled in Heidelberg Twp., Lehigh Co., Pa. Martin died in 1762.
His widow and second wife is listed as Anna Maria Kocherin. Administrators
of the estate were Peter Kocher and Henry Geiger. The administration of the estate lasted
from 1762 - 1765.

These three Kocher families lived in Hangwiller, Lorraine. They emigrated to Pa. on board
the St.Andrew. Hangwiller and Schalbach were part of the Lutheran parish of
Wintersbourg, Lorraine. All the baptisms and marriages mentioned above were celebrated
at Wintersbourg, although the Kocher, Mertz and ROSE families were reformed (Calvinist).
In the Eighteenth Century, Lorraine was part of Germany. Nowadays it is part of France."

He may have been of one of the other families of Hangwiller, and not Nicholas' brother.

other families with Adam Maurer:
Johannes Diehl 27, J. Peter Diehl 25
Jacob Kock 31 (aka Cooke)

Notes:

I have my "Sassemanhausen" children (ones I think were Sassemanhausens) under
Johannes for now. I did have them under George Sassemanhausen before.

estate uses "Sassaman"

What links them to John? Right now, only that Peter Maurer was a sponsor
to Frederick Kramer.

Ana Maria Kernin" what is Vignoicavia?

will mentions

decendents of Catharine (when 21) (I think she was alive in 1800)
decendents of decd Magdalena (when 21) (I think she was decd in 1800)
decendents of decd Maria (when 21)

3 yet living daughters:
Maria Elisabeth
Margaretha
Elisabeth

s-i-l Frederick Kramer
s-i-l Michael Sharrer [and Margaretha] 1782

(it would appear that Peterwould have been a son, but since he disappears, he may
have died without heirs?)

I have the English and German versions. In the German, it looks like gestorben (dead)
before Magdalena and Maria, but in front of Catharine, it's hard to see. The
ink is smudged, but it looks like just "Ereben von meine dochter Catharine". The English translation only had decd in front of the name Maria. The spaces around the blobs
in "von mein" do not look like the writer's "verstorbene" hoops for the 's' and 'b' could
really be there (that is, I don't believe it could be verstorbene instead of von meine)

Inventory has a bond, money owed to a John Maurer
