____X-Message: #6 Would this John SACHS have been married to Magdalena and had a daughter named Louisa? My Louisa SACHS was the daughter of John and Magdalena SACHS and was born 20 August 1843 in Germany, or at sea, (depending on which census you believe), and died 26 March 1916 in Mt. Joy Township, Adams County. She first married Jacob Palmer, who died in 1899. She second married my ggg grandfather, David L. SPANGLER. In the 1910 census, Louisa said she was born in Germany in 1843 and came to America in 1845. In earlier censuses, she said she was born at sea on the voyage over. I have corresponded with Mr. Weber in the past about our Stoner ancestors. Does anyone know if he has an email address?
