Brown which brings up questions. Frederick Braun (1739 s/o Johan Peter Braun) had a daughter, Catherine born in 1762 who married Adam Foust (1760 s/o Adam Sr. and Anna Louisa Strauch). I am now informed that after Adam Sr. died at Valley Forge in 1778 his wife, Anna Louisa married Frederick Braun, her son's father-in-law. I had attributed all of Frederick's children to a "Louisa" but was concerned about the widely seperated dates of birth, impossilbe for one woman. It now appears that Louisa was Anna Louisa and the only child I can verify as being hers from a union with Frederick is Frederick Jr. born in 1783. Her approx dob is 1735, making her too old to be the mother of Benjamin. So Frederick's younger children were born while she was wife to Adam Foust,Jr and his oldest children were probably from a thrid wife. Any help from your end with this p! uzzle??? Someone, it may have been you, listed a Susanna as a dau of Frederick b 1756. I have always discounted that dob since Frederick would have been extremely young, but I guess an earlier marriage in his early youth could have produced Susanna, Catherine, Peter and John. However, Susanna is reported to be the wife ofJohannes Foust born 1768, so a dob of 1756 seems unlikely for her. Other sources place it closer to 1780. I just cannot get this family straight!
