This was sent me by a list member....can anyone help Grace with her recalcitrant Johann? S. : My great great great grandfather, Johannes (or Johann or John) Ault came to Pennsylvania from Wirtemburg, Germany in the early 1800's. I have not been able to find any record of when he came, nor any mention of him after he arrived, except for a marriage license between him and a second wife, Magdalena Siegla (at least that was the spelling on the certificate.) Also, I can find no record of his first wife, from whom I'm descended, nor how many children he had. I do know that he had one daughter, Mary, who was my great great grandmother. Mary Ault, married William Parker Zane in 1850. I have their marriage certificate,but it doesn't list the parents. (I do know from another source that William Parker Zane was the son of Nathan Zane and Hannah Stancliff.) They had three daughters: Mary, Georgiana, and Kate. William went to war and died in Andersonville prison of "disease and starvation". My dad has his death notification from the US Army. Mary was left destitute. A document we have seen states that one of the older girls lived with the Joseph Ambler family in Springhouse, and the other lived with Benjamin Ambler in Blue Bell, Montgomery County. I think the area became the town of Ambler during this time. The Amblers were Mary's friends who cared for her two daughters. Mary kept Kate with her and worked as a domestic. Kate was my great grandmother and died in 1951?. She provided quite a bit of family information, but not everything needed. Grace G. Rendall KSCE-LIFE!
