    (read-Y, write-N, speak English -N), widower

    sp - 1854 Joseph Wagner and Sarah

    Harrison's will mentions his heir Felix Yoder and also a Mary Yoder. I had thought
    that maybe Mary was Harrison's single sister. Probably, it's his nephew Joel
    Yoder's wife (Mary Wetzel). Harrison was living with Joel in 1900. Maybe Joel
    married the Mary Wetzel who was Harrison's house keeper in 1870/80?? After raising
    her, she married his nephew and they took him in during his old age. Note that the
    first two children of Joel are Hannah and Harrison.

    Joel and Mary were married 30 Apr 1881 at Kimmel Church

    (perhaps Mary Wetzel was related to Harrison's sister Sarah who married a Wetzel?)
    (or the Mary age 4, listed in Iowa, d/o Reuben Wetzel and Matilda?)
    (maybe a daughter of one of Hannah's sisters?)

    There is no tombstone for Harrison. His plot isshown on the map in the church
    and the location matches the county death record. There seemed to be enough
    room on the plot for him and his wife Hannah, though no dates are shown.
    Cause of Death: of paralysis
    Harrison Yoder and Hannah Wagner Marriage 1853
    German language marriage certificate for Harrison Yoder and Hannah Wagner married 7 May 1853 in Upper Mahanoy Township, Northumberland County, Pa. Harrison was a stone mason and farmer.

    Harrison married Hannah WAGNER 7 May 1853, Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co, PA. Hannah (daughter of Johannes WAGNER and Maria Magdalena (Polly) KRÄMER) was born 29 Dec 1834, Upper Mahantongo Twp, Schuylkill Co, PA; died Between 1880 and 1900, Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co, PA; was buried St. Paul's Union Church, Pitman, Eldred Twp, Schuylkill Co, PA (No Stone).

  2. 5.  Hannah WAGNER was born 29 Dec 1834, Upper Mahantongo Twp, Schuylkill Co, PA (daughter of Johannes WAGNER and Maria Magdalena (Polly) KRÄMER); died Between 1880 and 1900, Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co, PA; was buried St. Paul's Union Church, Pitman, Eldred Twp, Schuylkill Co, PA (No Stone).

    • _UID: 497EB9D08DDC49A68FF29E4F766EFC6C623B

    Notes:

    I'm uncertain when/where Hannah died. She was alive in 1880 according to the
    census. She's probably buried next to Harrison since from the map in the church,
    it looked like enough room for two persons to be buried in the plot (thereare no stones).

    Anthony married Sarah HOWERTER Abt 1811, Upper Mahantongo Twp, Schuylkill Co, PA. Sarah (daughter of Johan Adam HOWERTER and Catharine KROHN) was born Abt 1793, Longswamp Twp, Berks Co, PA; died Abt 1851, Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co, PA; was buried Howerter's Church, Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co, PA. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Sarah HOWERTER was born Abt 1793, Longswamp Twp, Berks Co, PA (daughter of Johan Adam HOWERTER and Catharine KROHN); died Abt 1851, Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co, PA; was buried Howerter's Church, Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co, PA.

    Other Events:

    • Confirmation: 24 Apr 1808, Howerter's Luth Church, Upper Mahanoy Twp, Northumberland Co, PA
    • _UID: E1FD70AA20484EDDAE7D0D7CC5DFA6D45D74

    Notes:

    1850 census has Sarah age 56, (born circa 1794). The other ages for the family
    seem correct, but I'd guess Sarah could be born any time c1791-95 and still be
    pretty consistent. Confirmation in 1808 at typical age of 15 would push her
    birth back to 1793.

    her parents listed as Adam, Sr. is a "best fit". That is, despite my continued look for
    alternatives, I don't have any evidence that she isn't a daughter of Adam Sr, and several
    reasons why she is. Consider:

    - Sarah is identified as a Howerter on Harrison Yoder's Taufschein (original in my possession).
    - Sarah is identified as a Howerter in Floyd's book on Northumberland Co (Re: Anthony Yoder)
    - only males Adam Sr, Adam Jr, and Peter came to Howerter's Church area.
    - Sarah Howerter was confirmed here in 1808.
    - Sarah Howerter and Adam Howerter are listed together as communicants at
    Howerters on 3 May 1812 (no other Howerter's there)
    - Adam Jr "had no children" according to Floyd book (but see 1810 Census)
    - 1800 census seems goofed up for Adam Jr (00001-00120). (but no young daughter)
    - 1800 census for Adam Sr matches: 10101-11101 - children being Johannes (if alive),
    Christina, Anna Maria, and Sarah.
    - 1810 census for Adam Sr: 00001-01001 (Jr: 11010-01010?)
    - Peter'skids are accounted for and start in 1805. wf born in 1778.
    - Sarah's parents would be 52/46 which is a little old, but still OK.
    - So Adam Sr is only viable candidate for her father.
    - Sarah appears as a sponser to "sister" Catharine/Anthony Wehry in 1811.
    - There doesn't appear to be any indication that she could be an illegitimate
    daughter of one of Adam's other daughters...

    Problems with this theory:
    - She's not mentioned as a daughter in Floyd's book (but neither is daughter Salome).
    Given the accuracy of the rest of the article, that's not a big deal
    - The mother Catharine is pretty old (not too old) for a child in 1794
    - Normally Sarah and Salome were the same name (one the nickname of the other)
    so it's odd for someone to have daughters with both names (though not *too* odd
    to me). This is the only one that really bothers me.

    Her death is based on the fact that she's in the 1850 census, but not in Anthony's will.

    On the unwed mother theory: The mother would have to have
    been Catharine, Salome or Elisabeth. This is my second best guess. Certainly, it
    seems Adam Sr raised her, but maybe she was born out of wedlock. If I
    were to pick a candidate for that, it would be Elisabeth who would have
    been just old enough at the time. Elisabeth *maybe* married John Fassler
    who later were sponsors for the baptims of Harrison Yoder.

    +Could it be Catharine? I doubt it since Sarah was a sponsor to her in 1811. I can't
    imagine having the abandoned child being a sponsor for her mother later on.
    +Could it be Salome? I doubt it. Salome seems to have been married to
    Jonathan Bastress at that time and there are estate records showing that the
    only daughter by that father was Catharineborn c1794.
    The only thing would be if for some reason (!), the daughter Catharine was raised
    by Adam Sr and "renamed" Sarah (ie Salome). The age would atleast be right.
    +Could it be Elisabeth? Well, Elisabeth would be just old enough to have gotten
    pregnant. But I can't figure out what happened to her. Ithink Elisabeth would have
    to be the most likely of the daughters. She was apparently alive when Adam Sr made
    his will. a Guess then would be that Elisabeth married John Fassler later (and was
    a sponsor to Anthony Yoder and Sarah when Harrison was born).

    How about this possibility - Sarah (maybe a Salome) was born to someone else, and
    raised as a Howerter? Possibilities:

    Salome Knappenberger, born 7 Feb 1793, to John A. (Adam) Knappenberger
    (note - Adam Sr's first sponsor was a Knappenberger).

    a child of Adam Jr (by a first wife who died in child birth?)
