Thank you Garry for the new information. It looks right to me. This is all that I have on the Johan Daniel Straub. 7. In Daniel Schumacher's record Daniel Straub and Catharina Schneidern were sponsors 13 June 1762 at Allemangel of a dau Catharina Elisabeth born to Jacob and Elisabeth Neuferth. Also sponsor of neice Catharina in 1762. He should have been at least age 16 when he was a sponsor. Daniel Straub was confirmed in Allemangel in 1763. 1772, 1785, 1786, 1798 Lynn Twp tax lists, 1785 Militia List. 1790 Northampton Co, Lynn Twp, p. 175. Daniel Stroup. 1800 Northampton Co, PA p. 570. Daniel Straub Sen. 02201-00100. Estate reported 12 June 1807 at Northampton (Lehigh) Co Orphans Court Docket Book 8:76.

Heinrich Brobst b. 1775 d. 1802 from Lynn Twp, Lehigh County, PA names in his will as an administrator his brother-in-law, Daniel Straub. Since Heinrich was married to Catharine Heinrich, it would seem Daniel was married to a sister of Heinrich's. Daniel's wife name was Catherine, so his wife may have been Catherine Brobst. Daniel's brother, Jacob b. 1788, was married to a sister of Heinrich's. This also builds the argument that Daniel's father, Johan Daniel b. abt 1742 had two wives. The Brobst records gives Daniel, Sr.'s wife as Catharine Scheitz and a descendant of Daniel's son Andrew Jackson b. 1790 gives Daniel, Sr.'s wife as Catharine Seidler. Comments, please.
