He settled in Winchester, Frederick County, married Margaret Becker somewhere around 1749. Samuel is listed as being one of the founding members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church (now called the Grace Evangelical Church) in Winchester. We show children as Evalina, Peter Joseph, John, Mary & Samuel but think there may be more. I also believe Margaret Becker may have been related to Heinrich Becker who was another founding member of this church. I'm looking for marriage date for Samuel and Margaret, dates of birth/death, where buried, and any other information anyone may have. If you have any information about either of these lines, please contact me. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
