So why would these other 3 children [not] be baptized there... I know they lived to adulthood. Are you talking about Peaked Mountain German Reformed Church? [There was also a Presbyterian (I think) Church that went by this name] I'd suggest that the records are?incomplete, and absence of a baptismal record does not necessarily mean anything. My 4GGF George CARPENTER [aka ZIMMERMANN] was an elder in Peaked Mountain German Reformed Church in 1763 according to their records, and I feel sure that he stayed active in the Church for the rest of his life, yet I can find only some of his known children listed in baptisms there. My 3GGF William Carpenter was baptized at Peaked Mountain GR, but moved and was a member of Friedens GR for most of his life, and I can find Confirmation records there for him and for his wife Margaret WHEELBARGER, they were married by the Friedens Pastor Johannes Braun, they?are buried in the Church yard (as are her parents), and I can find baptismal records for all but their oldest child [who lived to old age]. Nothing about that missing record makes! sense to me except that the baptism took place but was never recorded or the record was lost.

Yesterday I came across baptism records for Peaked Mountain Church. I found many of my ancestors... However in two other sources my 6th great grandparents had 9 children but I only found 6 children. My 6th great grandparents were Conrad and Anna Elizabeth (Mallo) Price (also spelled Preiss, Preisch). Along with their children, they were also baptized at Peaked Mountain. Conrad and his siblings and Anna Elizabeth's siblings were also baptized there.. So why would these other 3 children be baptized there... I know they lived to adulthood. Conrad's known children (that were baptized) are: Michael b. 16 Feb 1783 Augustine b. 5 Mar 1785 Elizabeth b. 11 Sep 1786 Frederick b. 27 Jul 1788 Anna Maria b. 5 Jan 1792 John Peter b. 5 Dec 1792 The three unknown children (unknown meaning don't have birth or baptism dates/records) were: George Price Joseph Price Jacob Allen Price Jacob was administer of Conrad's will which took place in St. Charles, MO... George and Augustine paid taxes on Conrad's land. Joseph was killed by Indians... So would these three just not have been recorded when baptized which I find highly unlikely but I guess possible.... Maybe they just were not baptized? Again highly unlikely but possible... Any help, ideas, etc greatly appreciated! Juls Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Hello! I noticed you mentioned Friedens GR,church was there a Frieden's Church in Rockingham as well as Shenandoah? I know about the Shenandoah Co Frieden's church it was shared by both Lutheran and German Reform. I have been to that site, no church there anymore just a marker. You mentioned a cemetery which I did not see at the Shenandoah site. My interest is in my gg grandfather who attended that church and died in 1853 no burial site found. Any information would be helpful. Jackie On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 3:20 PM, <thomasflory@aol.com> wrote: > > > > So why would these other 3 children [not] be baptized there...

Friedens Church in Rockingham County was founded circa 1752, is still there, as is the cemetery. As Thom stated, Pastor Johannes Braun (John Brown), my 4 Great Grandfather, was a longtime preacher there. Rev. Brown, his wife Elizabeth (Fall) Brown, and several of their children are buried there. The cemetery Thom mentioned is at the site of Friedens Church near Mt. Crawford that still exists. Sorry I can't provide any info concerning the Shenandoah Co. site.

When you say, "Yesterday I came across baptism records for Peaked Mountain Church," can you tell me where you found those records? I'm searching for mention of my Baughman ancestors. Thanks.
