Sally married David Stutzman and there is plenty of detail about them and their children online. Her sister, Anne Marie, married David's brother Michael Stutzman. Her other siblings appear to have been William K. Kehres (who changed the spelling of the name), born in 1808, Elizabeth Gehres, 1810, Catherine, 1811, and John, 1812. Anne Marie was born in 1817. Their parents are a mystery. One source indicates Johannes Gehres, an immigrant from Germany and Catherine Otto. Another lists George Kehres and Anna Marie Otto. Both of these listings are replicated many times but I find no real evidence and would greatly welcome some clue. The cemetery in Hegins has an old burial of Catherine Derr Gehres and her husband George, with a German spelling of Gehres that may be Goehres. Spelling of the name, Gehres, of course varied a great deal. One census indicates! a woman living with David and Sally whose name is listed as Mary Cares, perhaps the census-taker's version of Gehres, who could have been the widowed mother. A younger woman named Cares is also listed who might have been the wife of George E. Kehres, the son of William K. Kehres. bobserum@yahoo.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
