I already have this information but am glad you have posted it for others to see. I am a direct decendend from Nicholas and I need to make a few corrections....First Christofel is NOT Nicholas' father.....Joachim Cutshall/Gottschall IS.There is such a conterversy over this but know from the family Bible this is not his dad. Joachim's father is Jurgen Gottschalk; mom is Katharine Trapp. Jurgen's father is Peter Gottachalk and his father was also named Peter. There have been so many mistakes about this family. But I know this family well enough to tell you that Chrstofel is NOT his dad. If you look at Christofel's birth date, it shows he was born 1793. How can that be possible when Nicholas was born in 1740??? The person posting this info probably got his/her information from someone who doesn't know this family well enough and made guess'. Second, wife # 4, 5, and 6 are repeats.....he was actually married 3 times...had children w/ one of the other women but not with the other. I was really wanting to know more about Margaretha Hamilton. I have found several queries about her and am getting quite curious about her and her family. Do you have anything on the Hamilton side?? Please e-mail me or leave message here. Thank you! Gloria P.S If you need anything on the Cutshall/Gottschall side, Let me know. :)
