Valentine Kratz m1 wid Boyer m2 wid.Mary Detweile
Does anyone have any insights into the matter of Valentine Kratz (p210 AJ Fretz's Kratz book) who married first (Catharine?) Christman, widow of Peter Boyer and had 5-7 kids.She died 24 Oct 1822.Valentine m2 widow Mary Detweiler who died 06 Mar 1866 and had a further 4-6 children?
KFH states that the first 5 children belonged to w1, but says she died 24 Oct 1822:
Jonas b 30 Oct 1807
Valentine b 23 Oct 1809
Mary b 16 Oct 1811
Ann b 12 Feb 1814
George b 15 Jun 1815
it further states Valentine m2 widow Mary Detweiler and had 6 further children:
Jacobb 15 Nov 1820 (nearly two years before w1 died)
Rebecca b 12 Nov 1822 (just one month after w1 died)
Daniel b 15 Nov 1826
Sarah (no dob, ds)
Esther (no dob, dy)
Hannah (no dob, dy)
Is there an incorrect dod for w1?
Did Jacob belong to w1, instead of w2 as shown?
Did Rebecca have an incorrect dob? (Perhaps she was b of w1 who died as a result of childbirth--perhaps her dob and w1's dod are confused?)
Was there a divorce between w1 and Valentine?
Did Valentine play around on w1?
Anybody have any ideas?
