Hi to all, I am wondering if any of you who are working with the Northampton, now Monroe and Lehigh, County, Pennsylvania Kunkels could help me with something. I am researching the family of George Kunkel, born 1741 in Floersbach, Hesse, Germany, died 1811 in Northampton County, PA, and married Esther sometime around 1764. His children seem to have been Johann Jurg 27 Jul 1766-infant Anna Sabina 6 Oct 1767 George 9 Nov 1769-1 Aug 1854 Susanna Margaretha 5 Jan 1722 Adam 1 Feb 1774-bet 1820 and 1830 The above were all mentioned in the records of the Hamilton Church. Then comes my problem. I found an entry in the Heidelberg Church records for the birth of Maria Barbara Kunkel born 22 Jun 1776 to George Kunkel and CATHERINE! In the Hamilton Church records Esther is mentioned in 1774 four times, the birth of her son Adam in February, attending communion at Easter, the baptism of a godchild and attending communion in November. Neither Esther or George are mentioned in those records again in any way. So my first question is - does anyone have a record listing Ester by name after November 1774? The rest of George's children are Maria Barbara 22 Jun 1776-12 Oct 1853 Elisabeth 26 Sep 1775-24 Mar 1853 Maria 1 Jan 1781-26 Jan 1864 Peter 27 jun 1786-12 Jul 1859 Margaret 30 May 1787-30 Sep 1866 My other question is regarding Elisabeth. If the record for Maria Barbara's birth is correct, the date of 26 Sep 1775 seems rather unlikely for Elisabeth. Can anyone help?
