Bill, if you check online on the Odenwelder family you will find that Johan Philip and Anna Maria (Rent) Odenwelder's dau. Anna Maria Dorthea married someone else, I don't have my infor. in front of me so I don't know who at this time.As you say she was too young to have been the Anna Maria Dorothea who m. Hans Adam.At one time I suggested that she may have been a Odenwelder or a Rent, meaning she may have been a sister of either Johan Philip or Anna Maria, who appear to be about the age of Hans Adam and Anna Maria Dorothea. So far we have found no written proof that she was an Odenwelder at all.There is also a possibility that we have the whole story wrong and that the Hans Adam who married Dorothea, and the Johan Adam who married Mary Catharine Hilgert were the same person, as has been suggested by others.Church records show that Adam and Catharine were m. only six weeks when their dau. was born, and that was after John, Mary Magdalene and other children were already born, so that would seem there was more than one wife. It just gets more and more confusing.Lynda Mohney
