AD Michael

Birth records have not been located, but various sources indicate that Michael was born about 1750. Kistler family papers on file at HSBC show that Rev. Schumacher confirmed Michael Kistler (and Frederick Kistler) in 1765; this suggests a birth date about 1750. Other sources (Our German, Pilgrim and Quaker Ancestors by Mary Bell Lontz) show Michael's confirmation in 1764, and suggest a birth date in 1748. Still other sources (genealogical papers prepared by Mabel Van Dyke Baer, filed at DAR) show a birth date of 1749. The exact date may never be known, but we may conclude that Michael was born about 1750.

It is known that by 1769 Michael was married; an extract of baptismal records of the Ebenezer Church, New Tripoli, Lehigh county, PA, shows that in 1769 Michael and Eva (nee Driesy) sponsored a child of George (AC).

Michael married three times. His first wife, Eva Driesy, is indicated by the baptismal record at Ebenezer Church. Eva probably died about 1770.

Genealogical papers prepared by Mabel Van Dyke Baer and filed with the DAR show that Michael married Barbara Haahl about 1772. Michael and Barbara Kistler are shown on the records of the Lowhill Union Church, Lehigh county, PA, as the parents of Philip Jacob, born 7/2/1774, godparents Philip and Barbara Probst (AG).

Barbara probably died about 1780. This is evidenced, indirectly, by Rev. Helffrich's records. He records the death of Magdalena Schwab on 6/20/1833. He notes that Magdelana was born 10/17/1761, the daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Mans, that she married Melchoir Schwab on 5/3/1795, and that she had earlier been married for eleven years to Michael Kistler with whom she had six children. Since Michael died in 1792 (see below), it can be determined that Michael and Magdalena were married about 1781, suggesting the death of Michael's second wife about 1780.

Michael's will is recorded in Northampton county (Lehigh county had not yet been formed). Michael's will is dated 5/5/1792 and was probated 8/13/1792. The will names three sons, Philip, Samuel, and Michael.

Unfortunately, there is a good deal of confusion about the number and names of Michael's children. Genealogical papers prepared by Mabel Van Dyke Baer (cited earlier) show Michael's children as: Michael, Samuel, John, Joseph, Nathan, Monroe, Salome, and Judith. This is incorrect, and the erroneous information has been repeated elsewhere as well. Joseph, Monroe, and Judith are not children of Michael (AD); they are children of Michael and Maria Magdalena (ALC). Some of the other children attributed to Michael (i.e., Nathan and Salome) may also be in error. As near as I can determine, Michael's children are as follows:

Philip ADA

Samuel ADB

Michael ADC

Jacob ADD

George ADE

Unknown ADF

Catherine ADG

Unknown ADH

John ADI

Michael's first three children ‑‑‑ Philip, Samuel and Michael ‑‑‑ were born to Michael and his second wife Barbara. This is evidenced by a petition in Berks county Orphan court, September 1788, for Philip (above 14) and for Samuel and Michael (under 14) for shares in the estate of their grandfather, George Haahl. Michael's other six children were born to him and his third wife, Magdalena, as evidenced by Rev. Helffrich's notes. Of these six children, I have been able to identify only four: Jacob, George, Catherine, and John.

ADA Philip

Records of the Lowhill Union Church, Lehigh county, PA, show Philip Jacob, son of Michael and Barbara Kistler, born 7/2/1774, godparents Philip and Barbara Probst. By 1795, Philip had married Anna Maria; in that year records of the Jerusalem Church (JER), Berks county, PA, show that Philip and Maria were godparents to a child of Samuel (ADB).

Sometime after 1800 Philip (and his brothers Samuel and Michael) moved to Westmoreland county, PA. There, Philip's wife died; a tombstone inscription in Mt. Pleasant township, Westmoreland county, shows Mary, consort of Philip Kistler, died 4/10/1810, in her 35th year.

Philip seems to have remarried. Baptismal records of St. John's Church, Franklin township, Westmoreland county, PA, show Philip Kistler and Margaretta as parents of Sarah, born 5/31/1818.

Philip death is recorded in Marriages and Deaths, 1818‑1865, Westmoreland County, PA, (MDW). He died at the age of 60/9/3 at the home of his son Daniel; this would put his death on 4/5/1835. Another source, HYND, shows his death as 4/10/1835.

ADAA Daniel

JER records show Daniel, born 7/17/1794, son of Philip Jr. and Anna Maria, godparents Philip and Elizabeth Barbara Kistler (AC). Daniel settled in Hempfield township, Westmoreland county, PA. With his wife, Marie, he had at least six children.

The private and unpublished records of Janet and Henry Hyndman of Wichita, KS (HYND) show that Daniel died 12/26/1870. This same sourse shows his wife was born in 1798, died in 1880.

The 1860 Census records for Westmoreland county, PA, show Daniel, age 65; and Mary, age 62. The 1860 records also show Catherine, age 34; and Anna M., age 12, but their relationship is not shown.

Although Philip's wife is named Anna Maria, not Elizabeth, I feel sure that this entry refers to Philip (ADA). Note that the DAR Library contains a reference book, "The German Church Records of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, 1805-1812", which shows that in July of 1805, at the Greensburg Lutheran Church, Philip and Anna Maria Kustler (umlaut over the "u") were sponsors to a child of Peter and Catharina Zimmerman. Undoubtedly, the Zimmermans were the sponsors of John in 1804.

ADAGCA Dell

Note that in the 1900 Census for Rock Island county, William (ADAGC) has a son, Charles, in

his household. Charles is shown as age 20 (born 1/1880). Obviously, Charles and Ethel could not both have birth dates in early 1880.

ADAGCH Charles

Born 1/80 according to 1900 Census record; he appears in his father’s household. Note that Charles does not appear in the 1880 Census. Note, too, that his birth in 1/1880 conflicts with the birth of Ethel (ADAGCG). I suspect he was born 1/1881.
