    Salome, d/o Christopher and Catharine Dunkelberger, and w/o Jacob
    Gonser and w/o John Smith, 2 Mar 1820 - 8 Sep 1907

    It strikes me as a bit odd that Jacob wasmarried to two women named
    Sarah, both born the same year...

    Sarah married Jonathan SMITH Aft 1863, PA. Jonathan was born Jan 1810, PA; died Aft 1900, Washington Twp, Northumberland Co, PA. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    I'm honestly not entirely comfortable with all of this family. The linkage
    to Magdalena, wife of John Klock is a little weak - probably based solely
    on the baptismal sponsors which further requires saying that yes, the tombstone
    birth date doesn't match the one from the baptism.

    Also, the linkage to Daniel Hill seems to be based on him having a Betty
    Dunkelberger in his will, and Christopher Dunkelberger and wife Elisabeth
    - last explicitly named in 1784 at Himmel. Latter records show only Christopher D.
    and wf. Also note that in Floyd's book on Northumberland County, under the Ferster
    family, he has Eva wife of Christopher (the other Christopher 1-42- well documented) but
    also a Catharine wife of Christopher Dunkelberger. who is that?? Probably OK
    overall though, but these loose ends need wrapped up.

    From Floyd's History of Northumberland County, pg 49 (similar info on pg 123):
    DUNKELBERGER, a name well represented in Northumberland county,
    originated, according to tradition, from Dunkel Berg, a spur of the
    Black Forest. Little is known ofthe Dunkelbergers before the time of
    the Reformation. During that period they espoused the cause of the
    Reformers, and their descendants to the present day have continued to
    adhere to Protestant denominations. Up to the time of their emigration
    to the New World they were industrious and patriotic citizens ofwhat is
    now the Kingdom of Wurtemberg, in lower Germany, but being deprived
    there of their religious liberty they turned to America, coming hither
    in 1728by way of the Rheinfeld, down the Rhine to Holland, whence they
    sailed in theEnglish ship "Morehouse," landing at Philadelphia Aug. 28,
    1728. They proceeded at once to what is now Berks county, Pa., locating
    in Windsor township, a little southeast of what is now the borough of
    Hamburg. They were frequently molested by the Indians. These emigrants
    were Clement, Daniel and John Dunkelberger. Clement who was the
    ancestor of the others (the name of his son Daniel, however, does not
    appear in his will), at once paid taxes to the English Crown. "Clementz
    Doncleberger" is on the first list of taxables of Windsor township
    (1754). He paid 6 tax in 1759. At the time of his death, in 1782, his
    homewas in Windsor township. His will, made Feb. 12, 1776, was
    probated April 8,1782, and is on record in Will Book B, page 38. At the
    time the will was madehis wife Anna Maria was still living. Their
    children were (no record of Daniel): Clemens, who obtained the
    plantation; Catherine, married to Andrew Winiger; Mrs. John Beck; John;
    Frederick; Christopher; Elizabeth, married to MichaelDeck; Philip;
    Sevila; Magdalena; and Dorotha.
