CODER/HOHENSCHILDT
Seeking info on my wife's 6th GGF Conrad CODER Sr who came to America from Germany in 1751 and died in 1793 in Northampton Co, PA. I have his children as Conrad Jr, Catharine, Elizabeth, Catharine (Mrs Martin CONRAD), and Agatha (Mrs Philip LESSIG). My wife then desends from Conrad Jr's daughter Anna Maria CODER (c1774-1825) who m. Johan Georg HOHENSCHILDT Jr (1772 Montgomery Co, NY-1810) son of Johan Georg HOHENSCHILDT (1742 Salem Co, NJ-1822) and Anna Elizabetha WAGNER (c1750-1825) daughter of LTC Johann Peter WAGNER (1722-1813) Deputy Commander of Palatine Regt. who fought before Saratoga against the British in the Revolutionary War. Possibly the grandfather of Johan Georg HOHENSCHILDT (1742-1822) was Johann Adam HOHENSCHILT who arrived in America from near Pungstadt, Hessen-Darmstadt, Germany, in 1736; lived in Deerfield Twp, Cumberland Co, and Stow Creek Tp, Salem Co, NJ; and died 1754. Johann Adam HOHENSCHILT is believed to have had the following brothers who lived in Amwell Tp, Hunterdon Co, NJ: Johannes, Jacob, and Mathias.
