> MATHIAS, b. 29 June 1735, m. MARIA BARBARA KNAPPENBERGER (1742-1801). > Children: MATHIAS 1762, PETER, HENRY 1767, JOHN and CONRAD?, twins 1771; > DANIEL 1774, SOLOMON, CHRISTINA 1761, CATHERINE, EVA, ELIZABETH > This Solomon appears to be the Solomon Egner, age 80, who was enumerated in the 1860 census of Lawrence Co., PA, Wurtemberg P.O., Wayne Twp. With him was his wife Catherine, age 75. Mathias Egner's son Solomon is said to have married Lydia Schuler in Lehigh Co. The Solomon Egner in Lawrence Co. had a daughter Lydia, born c. 1806, who m. Montgomery Miller and had 8 daughters. He also had a son named John Egner, b.c. 1821. John's census records show no children. The gap between Lydia's birth and John's suggests that Catherine ___ was a second wife and probably John's mother. In 1860 John was enumerated next to Solomon and Catherine. Lydia Egner and her husband Montgomery Miller are enumerated in the 1850 census of Lawrence Co., and then they disappear. Their children were still in Lawrence Co. in later census records, so it appears that one or both died between 1850 and 1860. Ann -- Ann Avery Hunter Richmond, Virginia mailto:annh@erols.com
