Hello, I've been updating my family info and 2 posts on this site from May has me confused and I would like some clarification and sources please. The following are the posts: "Tacy Amanda (Freas)...George Freas, grandfather, married Barbara Wolf, and their children were; John, George, Samuel, Jacob, Benjamin, Daniel, Joseph, William, Mary...and Catharine who married William Freas..." "Freas, Joseph, subject, of German extraction, his father, George Freas, married Barbara Wolf... Freas, Jesse, The great-grandfather of Jesse, was was from Saxony. His son Simon, of Whitemarsh township. He married to Margaret Rapin, born in 1773 and died in 1863, adescendant of Paul da Rapin de Thoyras. The children of Simon and Margaret Freas, were William, David, Anna, Charles, Nicholas, Sarah, Elizabeth, Philip, Henry, Elizabeth2, David2. William of this number was born Dec. 27, 1796 in Whitemarsh, he was a blacksmith. He married Catherine Freas. Children; Jesse W. and a daughter, Barbara Ann, who married Philip Cressman of Phila." ------------------------------ I have a copy of the 1834 will of George Freas, Jr. from the Phila Archives in which he states his wife as Barbara and his children as Samuel, Daniel, Joseph, Mary, Catherine and William. I have a marraige record from Boehm's church for William Freas and Rachael Clare dated 1821. Their children are Margaret C. (mar. Jesse Jarrett Kirk), Thomas and Allan. All five are buried at Boehm's along with a Hannah Freas and Margaret C.'s unmarried sister-in-law, Mary Shoemaker Kirk. Is Catharine Freas a first wife and Rachael a second? What is the source for Catharine Freas marrying William Freas - or can anyone clear up this confusion?
