She descends from Jacob Bender as follows: Jacob Bender m. Catherine Schneider John Bender m. Katrina Schnerr, d. of Casper/Magdalena Elizabeth Bender m. John Hewitt Deborah Hewitt m. Frederick Hamburg and moved just across the border to Carroll Co, MD Margaret Hamberg m. Rev. Calvin Amy, late lives in Baltimore Grace Amy m. Andrew Townsend, Baltimore Robert J. Townsend m. Emma Kutschel Gwen Townsend m. Jose Leroy Biggs Patricia Biggs Kelly So you can see that Frederick Hamburg was in Adams Co long enough to marry Deborah Hewitt, and I too am curious about whether he was the son of George Hamburg and brother of Rebecca. A Jack Templeton was trying to find out more about George Hamburg, who had a daugter Rebecca that married Frederick Jones. A Deborah Mosemore answered that George Hamburg was her GG Grandfather b. 1788 who had a daughter possibly born in Shippensberg, PA. That town apparently straddles both Franklin County and Cumberland County, PA. I can't locate that thread now but I think I have their email addresses somewhere. Frederick and Deborah (Hewitt) Hamburg left Adams Co after their marriage in 1835 and moved to Uniontown, Carroll Co, MD and lived out their lives there. Frederick was a "Hatter" by occupation. They can be found on the 1840, 1850 and 1860 census for Carroll Co, MD, and in those census records he states that he was born in MD. He died in 1862 at Uniontown and she in 1897. She was on the 1870 census, if I recall, under Deborah Hamburg. Unknown where he's buried but she is buried at Uniontown. My emaiil address is barbtpalmer@yahoo. Please contact me offline as I'm curious about what information you have. I found a George "Hamburg" with a son that could be Frederick Hamburg on the 1830 census for Washington Township, Franklin Co, PA. I wonder if Shippensberg is in Washington Township. This census was about 10 years after Rebecca Hamburg and Frederick Hamburg were born. There was a George "Humberd" on the 1840 census for Carroll Co, MD, who had no sons of Frederick's age. There was a George Hamburg on the 1850 census for Adams County, PA age 61 and a George "Hambury" on the 1860 census for Adams County, age 71. I haven't viewed the 1850 census yet. The 1840 and 1830 census I saw on-line by asking for "1830 Census for Franklin Co, PA." Barbara Palmer San Diego Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
