Karolyn, thank you for letting me see the wonderful work you have done on the Wix/Wicks family. If I may be so bold as to offer you a few more names.
Christian wicks, b. c1680 - he and Rosina Barbara were married 6 Jan 1711 in Mutterstadt and had four children before they left Mutterstadt:
Catharina Wicks - b. 25 March 1713
Christian Wicks - b. 6 July 1715 Mutterstadt, Germany
m. c 1740 Maria Catharina Kehle - Berks Co., PA She b. 2 Dec 1772 d/o William Kehle
she died 25 Oct 1756 Greenwich, Berks, PA
Maria Elizabeth Wicks - b. 11 May 1719 Mutterstadt, Germany
Anna Barbara Wicks - b. 14 Mar 1720/21 Mutterstadt, Germany
I don't believe Carl Witz is a child of Christian and Rosina. The four births listed above were found in a record in Mutterstadt.
Henry Wicks - s/o Christian and Maria Catharina b.c1764 died in July 1794. He was a marine aboard the ship South Carolina. He died intestate and his father Christian signed for his estate.
Esther Noll was born 1 July 1775 in Berks, PA. She was the d/o Peter Noll and Catharina (unknown). She died 23 July 1852 in Litchfield, Medina Co., Ohio.
Thank you again. I look forward to hearing from you.
