Kochers from Germany to PA in 1817
Johann Georg KOCHER m. Barbara HACKER and their son Johann Georg KOCHER was born 17 Apr 1742 in Ditzingen, Württemberg, Germany.He married Anna Rosine DACHTEL 27 Jan 1777 in Markgröningen and their children were born there.Johann Georg died in Jan 1817 just a few months before his wife, some children, a daughter-in-law and grandchildren emigrated to the USA.
My 3rd great grandfather is also Johann Georg whose wife Johanna Friederike GREINER and several children sailed with the family group.The names of their children were
1.Eberhardine Rosine m. Augustus Friedrich MEHNERT,
2.Johann George m. Eliza LERCH,
Children: George, Henry, Rosanna,Henrietta, Charlotte
3.Gottlieb Immanuel or Emanuel (my 2nd gr grandfather,
4.Christiane Friedrica,
5.Johannes,
6.Christian, b. 1818 in Peckway, Lancaster, PA m. Mary Magdalena ABEL and they lived in Lower Windsor Twp., York Co., Pennsylvania
7.Jacob Walter, b.1820 in Peckway.
I have some information on Christian and am in contact with two descendants of Jacob Walter.
Can anyone help with earlier information in Ditzingen - or descendants of other children of those listed above?
I am preparing to publish a book soon which includes my KOCHER family history, and will include all known KOCHER relatives.
Do you see any connections?
