She is your ancestor who married Thomas Lucas. 10. David Hoblit - b.08DEC1787 in Westmoreland Co., PA/d.28FEB1869 in Worth Co., MO. Was christened in Zion Luth Ch. in PA. Served in War of 1812. 1st marriage was to Martha Wilson 01MAR1811 in Highland Co., OH/2nd marriage was to Celia Kelly 12MAR1840 in MO. He moved to MO in 1839 - had 11 children w/1st wife and 1 with the second wife. Anna Katrina at one time weighed over 300 lbs. - and that tendency toward being heavy seems to have carried through on some of the descendants. Johannes Michael was quite an adventurer - notice how much they moved around - at one time someone mentioned that they first lived in KY before Daniel Boone blazed a trail. He served in the RW in the Invalid Div. of the PA militia. I guess they ended up having 99 grandchildren! Hope this helps a bit - Marlyn
