Anno 1800 wiki lumber11/9/2022 ![]() ![]() And Catharine became a grandmother several times over. Conrad married someone we do not know, but I am guessing her name was either Mary or Louesa, the names of his two daughters. Daniel married Anne Walker about that time, Barbara married Jacob Hinkle in 1808. Also there were still at home toddlers Thomas Jefferson and Elihu whom everyone called Hugh. The family survived the trauma of settling an estate. That house is still there I have seen it. Catharine's share was the house Johanne had built her, out buildings, and the remaining 11 acres of the 136-acre parcel. John got 200 acres, Daniel got 70 acres (was it more fertile and in a valley?), Conrad got 125 acres of a 136-acre parcel. A commission was set up to divide the land and consider Catharine's request, and it included among others ThomasMcGee, esquire (attorney), brother of Daniel. Immediately Catharine filed for a dower right to an equal portion of the land. Peter Forney was made Guardian of the boys since John was 21, Daniel 19, and Conrad only 16. The month after Daniel died, October 1805, her sons filed for partition of Johanne's land between the three of them. ![]() He had lived in her home since they married and left very little - mostly clothes - to be sold at auction to help her raise his children.īut the estate of Johanne, Catharine's first husband, was still not settled. Then when Thomas was about five years old andHugh about two, Daniel died. See more on Daniel McGee under his notes.Ĭatharine bore Daniel two children: Thomas Jefferson McGee, probably named after his brother, and Hugh (Elihu) McGee, possibly another of Daniel's relatives. His brother, Thomas, spent eleven pounds, possibly to make their presence more respectable. I wonder if he was standing next to her during the sale. He only bought a pottle (half-gallon container) and plate for three shillings, and bid right next to her. Johannes had bought the woman for her just before her first child was born, and she must have grown close to this woman, not willing to make any money at the expense of their friendship.Īlso at the sale was Daniel McGee whom she would later marry. She did buy back her negro woman and child for 168 pounds, 4 shillings. Interestingly, she did not buy any furniture. Catharine spent a total of 100 pounds, 171 shillings and 54 pence on mostly kitchen ware, a tub, a mare and woman's saddle, a quill wheel to make writing pens, some books (yes, she was educated) three cows (probably milk cows so she could make some money], and even a tub (for bathing?). Therefore, law required that all his movable assets be sold at auction. Otherearly 1800s burials included both Riegelmans and Wills.Ĭatharine's husband, Johanne Will, died September 1793 and without a will. Also, Catharine Reigelman would have been about twenty-one by then.īuriels in the Dunkel Church, Lenhartsville, Berks County, Pa., include Conrad Riegelmann, b. The fact that Johannes Will stayed single until he was thirty indicates partially that he had not found the woman he wanted to marry and may have decided to go back to Pennsylvania where his brother, Daniel lived, to marry a childhood friend. Notice that one of Johannes and Catharine Will's sons was named Conrad, whom I believe was named after her father. Johan Wilhelmus Mueller - This could be the FATHER OF ANNA SOPHIA DOROTHEA who married Conrad In 1748, the ship "Two Brothers" from Rotterdam and Portsmouth had the following passenger: Notice the likenesses of the names Killian, Rudesill, and Drack long associated with the Wills in both Pa. Johann Georg Reitzel/Reutzel (Rudesill?), 45 Martin Regelman, 40 - THIS IS THE FATHER OF CONRADĬonrad/Conrath Reagleman, 20 - THIS IS THE FATHER OF CATHARINE b. ![]() In 1741, the ship "Molly" from Rotterdam and Deal had the following passengers: Marriage records of this same church show Conrad Rigelmann, son of Martin Rigelmann, marrying Anna Dorothea Mullerin, daughter of Johann Georg Muller. Johanne Will was born and christened at the same church.Īccording to the research of Laura DeWald, Catharina's father was Conrad Rigelmann. I believe that Catharine's maiden name was Reigelman based on the following:Ĭatharine Rigelmann was born Maand christened Apat the Zion Lutheran Church at Moselem in Windsor Township, BerksCounty, Pennsylvania. ( I copy much of her work on this Wills family and the older Wills) McGee family record shows that Cathrine married Daniel McGee after her husband, John Wills, died. ![]() 1.6.1 Note has WT IDs and Needs Headers.1.6 NI437 History of the Roberts Family.1.4.1 Note Is Functional: Most names have WT IDs.1.4 NI393 Hopkins Cox and the Will of his Father.1.2 NI355 Ancestors of Cotham Grandfather. ![]()
