It is a bit confusing since some of the daughters' names are similar. I have an Anna Catherine Elizabeth 1840, and an Anna Catherine Elizabeth 1843. If your Anna Elizabeth's were the children of the same patriach, please let me know. I am not absoultely certain of the dates, as I got them from another researcher in Tamaqua (and descendant of the Wetterau family) ages ago. My g-g-grandmother was Martha Elizabeth Henry 1848. As I recall, I did confirm Martha's parentage by means of her death certificate and maybe church records at St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church in Tamaqua. Rose This is what I have collected: 1. JOHANNES GEORG7 WETTERAU (JOHANNES6, JOHANN ADAM5, MARTIN4, HANS HERMAN3, MARTIN2, ANDREAS1) was born Abt. 1810 in Blankenbach, Germany, and died June 29, 1858 in Tamaqua, PA. He married ANNA ELISABETH RUDOLPH February 25, 1838 in Germany.
