Killian is shown as father of 2 children who were married there, but no wife is shown. Source: Collected Church REcords of Berks Co, Part 2, Compiled by Phillip A Rice and Jean A Dellock, pub 1/1995 by Closson Press p 240 - 1745, on 14 past Trinity, Joh. George KEUHNLIN, single son of Killian KUEHNLIN and Philippina SCHOENER, single daughter of DAniel SCHOENER, were married. p 241 - 1747 Sep 29, Jacob PETRI, master shoemaker, single son of Nicholai PETRI, in Germany, and Anna Eva KUEHNLIN, single daughter of Kilian KUEHNLIN, were married. For John Adam KUEHNLIN, it looks like his wife's maiden name is MICHLIN, from baptism of 2 children: In Baptisms, p 262: Adam KUHNLIN and wife Maria Elisabeth MICHLIN had dau Anna Eva born 7/21/1754, bp 8/4/1754, spons: Jacob PETRI and Anna Eva KUHNLIN. p 263: Joh. Adam KUEHNLIN and wife Maria Elisabeth MICHLIN had a son Martin, born 11/23/1755, bp 12/18, spons: Martin EPPLE and Anna Maria MAJER. Hope this helps! I don't find a will abtract for Killian in 1757 in Berks Co. I also checked Philadelphia Co since Berks only became a county in 1752, carved from Philadelphia Co mostly, and many of the wills could be filed in either place. How do you know that Joh Adam is his son? Diana in AL audianaq@msn.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
