AF Samuel

Samuel was the youngest and most prolific son. His children were also prolific; Samuel's family is the largest branch of the Kistler family.

Gravestones at JER show Samuel, 9/20/1754‑4/24/1822, and his (second) wife, Catherine nee Brobst, 12/16/1767‑3/26/1845. The DAR Patriot's Index also show Samuel's first marriage to Maria Elizabeth Ladich; papers at HSBC show that Maria Ladich was born 11/22/1761. Based on baptismal entries for Samuel's children, his first wife must have died 1779‑1788.

Samuel's children are as follows:

Maria Barbara AFA

Jacob S. AFB

Samuel AFC

Daniel AFD

John S. AFE

Michael AFF

Catherine AFG

Maria Elizabeth AFH

AFA Barbara (Maria Barbara)

LCC shows that Barbara married Henry Sunday/Sontag and is buried at Dunkel's Church near Klinesville. Death records from the Reading (PA) Adler at the HSBC show Maria Barbara Sontag nee Kistler, wife of Henry, died 6/11/1850, age 70/2/23.

AFB Jacob S.

Baptismal records have not been located, but gravestones at JER show Jacob S., 10/5/1781‑10/7/1849, and (third) wife Anna Barbara Bausch, 6/25/1790‑11/19/1867. The LCC indicates that Jacob married three times: first to a daughter of William Carl (baptismal records give her name as Catherine); then to Catherine Bausch (with whom he had no children); and then to Anna Barbara Bausch. HELF shows the marriage of Jacob and Catherine on 4/14/1807 and the marriage of Jacob and Barbara on 5/14/1809. From these dates and from baptismal records, we can conclude that Jacob's first wife died about 1806 and his second wife died about 1808.
