AL John
John's birth date is uncertain; Kistler family
papers at the Historical Society of Berks County (HSBC) mention a date of
1757. Kistler family papers also at
HSBC show that John was confirmed by Rev. Schumacher in 1767, indicating a
birth date about 1750. Elaine D.
Schwar, writing in the Berks County Genealogical Society publication, (BCGS),
shows John's birth about 1752. John's
death may be inferred from Lehigh county records which show his will (dated
1817) was probated on 06/12/1819.
John married
Eva Maria Wiederstein, daughter of Johann Heinrich and Anna Maria
Wiederstein. Her birth on 4/8/1750 is
recorded in the Wiederstein family Bible on file at the Lehigh County
Historical Society in Pennsylvania. BCGS
shows the maiden name of John's wife as Eva Maria “Witterstein”. Records of Rev. Helffrich refer to John and
Eva (nee “Widerstein”) as the parents of Maria (ALA) and Conrad (ALB).
Kistler
family papers at HSBC mention Eva “Widerstein” as the wife of John and indicate
the Eva died in 1850 ‑‑‑ this is undoubtedly an incorrect death
date since there is evidence that John had a second wife, Catherine, who
received a settlement from John's estate after his death in 1819.
John's
children are as follows:
Maria Barbara ALA born 12/15/1777
Conrad ALB born 10/01/1786
Michael ALC born 10/14/1781
Henry ALD born about 1780
John ALE born 09/02/1776
Catherine ALF born 01/11/1790
Maria Magdalena ALG born 09/06/1787
Eva ALH born about 1779
Elizabeth ALI born about 1792
Susanna ALJ born 02/12/1794
Salome ALK born 03/13/1805
Unnamed
son ALL born 04/07/1781
Unnamed
daughter ALM born 02/25/1785
For many
years, I was mistaken about John (AL); I believed him to be the son of John
(B). In fact, John (AL) is the son of George (A). This is evident from EBEN baptismal records; from the will of
Barbara Kistler, widow of John (B); and from a petition filed on behalf of John
(BE):
1. EBEN baptismal records clearly show the
existence of John (AL), son of George (A) Kistler and his wife Dorothera. The EBEN baptismal record for John (ALE)
shows Dorothea (AH) as a sponsor. The
EBEN baptismal record for Eva (ALH) shows George (A) and his wife Dorothea as
sponsors. And the EBEN baptismal record
for Maria Magdalena (ALG) show Michael Moser and his wife Maria Barbara (AG) as
sponsors. The rationale for these
sponsors can best and most simply be explained by accepting that John (AL) is a
son of George (A) and, thus, brother to Dorothea (AH) and Maria Barbara (AG).
2. Yet another reason has to do with the will
of Anna Barbara, widow of John (B).
John Kistler and his wife Barbara did have a son named "John",
but not John (AL) -- refer instead to John (BE).
Barbara's will
names her sons: John George, William, Jacob, Abraham, and John -- in that
sequence. I believe she named her sons
in the order of birth. Since it is
known that Abraham was baptized at the age of nine weeks by Rev Schumacher in
February of 1762, it can be deduced that Abraham was born in late December
1761. Thus, Barbara's son John must
have been born later -- sometime between late 1762 and the death of his father
about 1772.
We also know
that Rev. Schumacher confirmed "John" in 1767. It is not likely he would have confirmed a
child of five or six. Thus, it is
unlikely that the child he confirmed was the son of John (B) and Anna Barbara -- rather, the child Schumacher confirmed
must have been the son of George and Dorothea -- that is, John (AL), born about
1752.
3.
More significantly, on August 10, 1784, John Kistler, "a
minor above the age of fourteen
years, one of the children of John Kistler, late of Albany
township in Berks county .." petitioned the Justices of the Orphans Court
held at Reading to permit him "to make of choice of some proper person as
guardian to take care of his person and estate according to law". (I am indebted to Bruce Kistler for
unearthing this petition.)
Since the
petition is dated in 1784 and since John was a minor above the age of 14, he
must have been born between 1763 and 1770.
This fits exactly with John (BE), son of John (B) and Barbara – and does
not fit with John (AL), son of George and Dorothea.
ALA Barbara
(Maria Barbara)
The personal
and pastoral records of Rev. John Henry Helffrich 1790-1810 and Rev. John
Helffrich 1816-1892, Berks and Lehigh counties, PA, (HELF), show the death of
Maria Barbara Schneider nee Kistler, daughter of John Kistler and Eva nee
Widerstein. Barbara's birth is shown as
12/15/1777, her marriage as 1/6/1796, and her death as 6/9/1859. The dates for her husband, John Schneider,
are given as 2/2/1774 - 8/12/1840.
Cemetery
records for Ebenezer church, New Tripoli, PA, (EBEN), show M. Barbara Schneider
nee Kistler, wife of John Schneider, born 12/15/1777, died 8/2/1840 (sic).
ALB Conrad
HELF shows
Conrad, son of John and Eva nee Witterstein, born 10/1/1786, died 9/21/1859,
married to Sarah Stein for 24 years, fathered eleven children. EBEN cemetery records confirm Conrad's dates
and show Sarah's dates as 10/31/1789 - 2/11/1836. The History of Lehigh County, PA, (HLC), describes Conrad and his
descendants. Of the eleven children
mentioned by HELF, nine are known:
Catherine ALBA

Wehr. EBEN cemetery records show Levi,
1/13/1843 - 3/20/1890, and Violetta, 1/25/1846 - 3/18/1888 (another source,
Genealogical Findings in the Allemangel Area of Berks and Lehigh Counties, PA,

county, PA. The 1900 Census records for
Erie county, NY, show Minerva, age 22 (born 01/1878), single. The records indicate that she and her
parents were born in Kentucky, but this is improbable.
ALBDC Lewis
H.
Both PBRL and
HLC mention Lewis, and he is shown in his father's household in the 1850 and
1860 Census records for Lehigh county, PA.
NEL describes his wife as Lucy Ann and mentions one child, Agnes

ALBDCD Illegible
Born 7/1897; he appears in his father's
household in the 1900 Census.
ALBDD Henry
H.
Both the PBRL
and the HLC mention Henry, and the HLC places him in Kansas with his brother
Lewis (ALBDC). At age 2, Henry appears
in his father's household in the 1860 Census records for Lehigh county, PA; and
at age 11, in his father's household in the 1870 Census records for Lehigh

the 1870 Census records for Lehigh county.
EBEN
gravestones show Mary A. Tyson, 9/24/1854 - 6/24/1919, and EBRT confirms these
dates. However, NEL shows Mary's birth
as 9/24/1852 -- based on Census records, this seems more likely.

Monroe ALCC
SCO states
that Michael moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio about 1832. The 1850 Census records for Seneca county,
OH, show Michael, age 69, and Polly, age 67.
The 1860 Census records show Michael, age 77, in the household of his

I am indebted
to Ellen Weber (www.geocities.com/Athens/Styx/5408) for providing a great deal of the
corrected information dealing with Michael (ALC) and his family.
ALCA Judith
EBEN
baptismal records show Judith, born 12/18/1812, daughter of Michael and Maria
Magdalena (godparents, Michael and Mary Magdalena Hoppes). SCO shows Judith married William Evert and
died at age 48.
ALCB Joseph
EBEN
baptismal records show Joseph, born 1/10/1815, son of Michael and Maria
Magdalena. SCO shows Joseph died in
Adams county, OH, at age 82. Weber
shows his death on 2/2/1899.
Joseph
married twice. On 5/22/1836 he married
Elizabeth Payne. Elizabeth apparently
died about 1854. Weber shows that
Joseph then married Catherine Margaret Shawbury on 9/11/1855. Latter Day Saint (LDS) records confirm
this, showing that Joseph married Catherine "Schabesy". In other records her last name is spelled
various ways -- Shawberry or Shaberg.
The 1850
Census records for Seneca county, OH, show Joseph, age 35; Elizabeth, age 36;
Josiah, age 12; Sarah, age 10; Amanda, age 8; Elizabeth, age 5; and Lafayette,
age fourteen months.
The 1860
Census for Seneca county, OH, shows Joseph, age 44; Catherine, age 30; Jesse,
age 22; Elizabeth, age 14; Lafayette, age 11; Mary, age 4; Edward, age 2;

Weber shows
that Joseph and his wife (Catherine) had a daughter, Catharina, born about
1856; apparently she died young, before the 1860 Census. Weber also shows that Joseph and his wife
had another daughter also named Catharina, born about 1860, died about
1862.
Also, Weber
shows that Joseph and his wife had a son, Levi, born about 1856, died
12/23/1865; I suspect that Levi was probably born in the early 1860s since he
is absent from the 1860 Census records.

daughter of Monroe, and states that she died in infancy.
ALCD John
T.
Kistler
family papers at HSBC describe John, 8/18/1806 - 7/14/1876. Information from Walter Rogers (113 Aster
Court SW, Pataskala, OH) shows that on 7/25/1824 John Kistler married Eva
Breisel/Brish. Other sources show her
name as Eva Breisch. Eva was born
3/17/1805 in Schuylkill county, PA.
The History
of Seneca county, Ohio, (HSO), describes John and several of his children and
states that John settled in Seneca county in 1833. HSO shows that John died 7/14/1870 at age 66 (suggesting a birth
date of 1804) and that Eva died 1/8/1878 at age 72. Weber shows that John was born 9/14/1805 and died 7/14/1870.
The 1850 Census records for Seneca county, OH, show
John, age 46; Eve, age 46; Polly, age 21; Monroe, age 21; Monroe's wife,
Catherine, age 20; Sarah, age 15; and John, age 5. The 1860 Census records for Seneca county, OH, show John T., age
56, and Eve, age 56.
Weber shows
that John and Eva had children as follows:
John August, Philip, and Solomon (born 1834).
With regard
to John August, this is probably “John” as shown in the 1850 Census records, born about 1845.
With regard
to Philip, there are no alternatives to suggest except that he probably died
young.
With regard
to Solomon, there is a more involved explanation. Perhaps John and Eva did have a child named Solomon. If so, I believe their child died
young. The Solomon shown in Census
records for Seneca county is, I believe, actually the nephew of John – refer to
Solomon (ALDD).
In brief,
John had a brother,(no, an uncle) Henry (ALD), and three of his sons did move
to Seneca county – Henry (ALDA), John (ALDG) and Solomon (ALDD). Solomon (ALDD) was born 10/6/1824 which is a perfect match for the Seneca
county Census records which show Solomon.
It should be noted, however, that the 1850 Census shows that Solomon and
John (ALDC) were immediate neighbors – suggesting a father/son
relationship. Solomon’s age, of course,
is at odds with a birth date in 1834.
Note that
Solomon, born 1825, is the father of (John) William, born 1858. In turn, William in the father of Clarence,
born 1878.
ALCDA Monroe

Census records for Seneca county, OH, show Monroe, age 21; and Catherine, age
20, in his father's household. The

20 (should be 30); John, age 19 (should be 9); Henry, age 7; Lana, age 5;

Kistler, godparents Conrad Widerstein (probably the brother of John's wife --
her father was named Henry) and Dorothea Kistler (probably John's sister,

EBEN cemetery
records show John, 9/2/1776 - 3/28/1851, and his wife Mary Elizabeth nee
Schneider, 3/17/1783 - 5/7/1808.
Despite the difference in the birth date shown for John in the baptismal
records, I believe this is the same individual.
Historic
Homes and Institutions of the Lehigh Valley, PA, (HHI), refers to John, a
blacksmith, who married for the second time to Catherine Everett. Cemetery records for the Jacob's Union Church,
Jacksonville, Lehigh county, PA, (JAC), show Catherine Kistler (nee Everett),
1/10/1791-4/23/1860.

a number of children:
John ALEA
Joseph ALEB
Magdalena ALEC
Elias ALED
Lydia ALEE
Daniel ALEF
Leiveine ALEG
Jonathan ALEH
Maria
Ann ALEI
Gideon ALEJ
Abigail ALEK
Based on
birth dates, the oldest son, John (ALEA), appears to be the only child of his
father's first marriage.
ALEA John
EBEN cemetery
records show John, 8/18/1808-4/24/1864; the actual gravestone, however, shows
8/18/1802 as the birth date, and this agrees with John's age as reflected in
Census records.
EBEN cemetery records also show John's wife, Susanna nee Jacobs,
11/17/1806-2/11/1885.
John's birth
date in 1802 indicates that he is the son of his father's first wife, Mary
Elizabeth Schneider, who died 5/7/1808.
The HHI describes John as a son of John (AAE) and Catherine (his
father's second wife), but this is obviously an error.
The 1850
Census records for Lehigh county, PA, show John, age 48; Susanna, age 44;
Aaron, age 18; Susanna, age 16; Eliza, age 14; Angelina, age 10; Sally, age 6;

Census records for Lehigh county show John, age 58; Susanna, age 54; Angelina,
age 18; Aaron, age 23; Sarah, age 16; and Jonas, age 14.

Susanna, Elisa, and Angelina.
ALEAA David

baptismal records show David, born 2/9/1831, son of John and Susanna. Also, LDS records show "Daniel",
son of John and Susanna, baptized at Jordon Lutheran Church, Lehigh county, PA,
on 3/1/1831. I suspect that David and
Daniel are the same individual -- in any case, no further record is found of
either David or Daniel.

ALED Elias

Elias, born 11/29/1816, son of John and Catherine, godparents John and Catherine
Seiberlilng.
In 1839,
Elias and Julian Kistler were godparents to Amandus (ALEBD). This baptismal record suggests that Elias
had married, but there are no other records of Elias and Julian. Possibly, Elias was not married to Julian --
or, if married, she died and he married again.
In any event, HOLL shows Elias Kistler, son of John and Catherine, born
9/29/1822 (sic), died 10/13/1895; married at Trexlertown by Isaac Roeller on

Census records for Upper Macungie township show Elias, age 62; and Catherine,
age 57.
As is
apparent, these Census records show that Elias's age varied from decade to

keeping with the birth date recorded by HELF (1816) and as reported by HOLL
(1822).
