    1. [Phly-Rts] Old St. Joseph's RC Church records...Hopkins
    2. I'm looking for the maiden name of Catharine Margaret (she went by Margaret) who married Adam GEIGER (later KIGER) widower, on 5 Apr. 1763. The marriage is in the records of Old St. Joseph's RC Church, Philadelphia, PA. However, Adam GEIGER was part of what is referred to as "The New Jersey Mission." He lived in Salem County, NJ. I believe that after Adam's death she remarried to Capt. Joseph WOOD of the American Revolution. They are buried in Old Jordantown Cemetery in Auburn, Salem County, NJ. Although the stone is no longer readable it once bore the inscription: "She went to war, cooked, and cared for him." The only other HOPKINS record in the early Old St. Joseph's records is for William HOPKINS and Margaret BROWN (Protestant) listing their children baptized at this church: John, 1789; Catharine, 1792; William Henry, 1794; Henry, 1795; Bartholomew Philip, 1797. Perhaps the above William HOPKINS is a son of Catharine Margaret and her first husband? Any information about Catharine Margaret [--?--] HOPKINS GEIGER WOOD would be appreciated. Joan
