In response to the message below from Gwen: I have a Matthaeus Muecke(b. 9 Mar. 1755, Bethlehem, PA) & wife Catharina Blickensdoerfer. They had a son Joseph Mickey (b. 28 Sep. 1793--Lititz, PA, d. 3 June 1875 - Newport, PA) who married Maria Rudy (b. 24 June, 1792 - Lititz, PA; d. 12 Jan. 1859 - Shermansdale, PA). There was only one child listed for them in the records which I have--Jacob Benjamin Mickey (b. 22 Dec. 1824 - Lititz; d. 5 May 1865 - near Southport, NC). He was also married with one son. These records come from the Moravian records which I have on my Mickey family. The ones on the family of Matthaeus Muecke came from Mary Mickey of Emmaus, PA. I haven't heard from her in many years so I don't know if she is still doing genealogy. This is the only information which I have on this particular line. We have quite a few Heinrichs & Marias among our Mickeys but I have no other Rudys. _____________________________________________________________ I am seeking information on Maria Mckee or any variation of these names. A brief bio was written by a family member and published in a county history stating that she was born 1789 in Chester Co. PA. What records are available for that time period that might help determine her parents? I have no clue as to what religion she might have practiced other than the fact that she was married in an Evangelical church and records of some of her children births are recorded in churches of this denomination. I have a record of her from the time she married March 27 1807 in Lebanon Co., PA but have never been able to find her parents or siblings. A witness to her marriage in 1807 was Heinrich McKee and, on 10 Jun 1813 at Salem Evangelical & Reformed Church of Harrisburg, we find the marriage of a Heinrich McKee to Eva Rudy. Eva was the widow of John Jonas Rudy, her maiden name being Koch. Eva was born in the 1765/83 time range and, presuming Heinrich was of the same age, he could be a brother to Maria Any help appreciated. Gwen in far away Texas
