In 1941 he was a soldier in World War II. He lived at 334 North 3rd Street, Lehighton, PA. He may have served in the Korean War as well. I have no other information, except I would estimate his birth year to be about 1924-5 and he may have been a casualty of war. Any info would be appreciated.

I have a Mary Jane Zacharias, b 1849, to Charles and Carline Serfass Zacharias. Mary Jane is the older sister of my great-great-great grandmother Ebazina/Ebbethenia Zacharias. I have lots of information on Ebbathenia's decendants and some on her ancestors, but I don't have any other information on Mary Jane specifically though, so if this is one in the same you have provided me with information as to her marriage. I have several Catherine Zacharias' and John Serfass' so I can't say anything for sure on that one. Do you have any more information? Dates or children? I have a Polly Serfass who married Mary Jane and Ebathenia's brother Samuel Zacharias, and think Polly may be the daughter of your two, but I am unsure, especially with the number of Catherine Zacharias' and John Serfass'that I have.

Dear Listers, I have a copy of the will of John Klotz of Carbon, then Northampton County, filed March 8, 1828, with a great deal of property and personal belongings listed. This will is at Northampton County Courthouse, will number 3910. In the listings of those who owed money to the estate James McDaniel of Carbon County then Northampton, is listed as owing $14.05. This James McDaniel was married to Lydia Klotz, unknown parentage. I think she is likely the daughter of this John Klotz, who is also possibly the father also of Christian Klotz who married Elizabeth McDaniel, James' sister. Others who had bills due to the estate are: Nicholas Foller to Daniel Oyster David Seller? to Joshua Kocher Jacob Weiss to Henry Hartman Thomas Weiss to Andrew Fritz Jacob Horner George Schadd to Jonathan Margerum Jacob Klotz Christian Miller to John Klotz and Christian Klotz. I have been unable to connect this Lydia Klotz who married James McDaniel to the John Klotz of this will. What I am hoping for is that someone can verify that this John Klotz is the father of Christian. With a will filed in 1828 I think this is likely Christian's father, as another will of a John Klotz which I don't have in my possession dated I believe 1843 is like John Jr., son of John in the above mentioned will. Any ideas on which John Klotz this will is for? Any thoughts appreciated. Judy

Christian was married twice, Elizabeth McDaniel, his first wife was born Feb. 1, 1795, and died Nov. 5, 1826. Anna Maria Klotz, was a daughter of this couple, b. June 20, 1824, she married I believe Edward Graver, given as Grover in the History of Carbon County, 1888 edition. Their other children were Hon. Robert Klotz, b. Oct. 27, 1819, Charlotte Klotz, b. abt. 1822, Ammon Klotz, b. abt. 1819, married 1st. Rebecca Dreisbach, 2, Lucy unknown, and Joseph Klotz, b. May 24, 1826, blacksmith, married a Mary A.

There's no baptism records for Lydia Klotz nor a Nathan Klotz in the Ben Salem book. There are two children for Christian and Elisabeth who were listed in Judy's initial post. Ref: Ben Salem Church, Growing Together Since 1797; East Penn Twp., Carbon Co., PA Pg. 144 Anna Maria Kloz Sex: F b. 6/20/1824 bap. 7/11/1824 F. Christian Kloz M. Elisabeth Kloz (no maiden name) Joseph Kloz Sex: M b. (blank) bap. 5/28/1826 F. Christian Kloz M. Elisabeth Kloz (no maiden name) In the cemetery records there is a burial for Christian (but no Elizabeth) and his wife's name was different but maybe he was married twice??? Also in the same row are a Silas Klotz and a Thomas Jefferson Klotz. pg. 56 Christian Klotz, (wife Veronica Krausz) b. 5/11/1789 d. 3/12/1848 sect. 1, row 11 Silas Klotz, b. 3/1/1830 d. 5/3/1867 sect. 1, row 11 Thomas Jefferson Klotz, b. 7/4/1845 d. 10/28/1863 sect. 1, row 11 Hope this helps someone.

In 1830 in Mahoning Twp., the most likely origin of your Nathan, there are; Daniel Klotz, with 1 male under 10, Christian, but he had no son named Nathan, his boys were Robert, Joseph and Ammon, and Mary Klotz with 2 males under 10. Perhaps the Ben Salem E. Penn church records could help, I know St. John's Mahoning's records for that period have been missing for years. Judy
