I've been receiving this list for quite a while, but have never posted my line. In response to the recent call, here it is. My most wanted Koch is trying to find the parents of Christian Koch, Sr., born 1789 in New Ringgold, PA, and died Jan. 9, 1879. His parents were obviously living in PA, but we haven't had success in discovering who they were. Our current theory is that his father may have been Johannes Christian, a Hessian soldier who was captured at the battle of Trenton, imprisoned in Lancaster, and took an oath of allegiance Sep. 1, 1778. This is just a guess right now. I look forward to hearing from anyone who may be able to shed light on this or who would like more information. Good Hunting!
