Second Generation

Third Generation

*Harryman, in The Romingers Roam states that Christina is Jacob's daughter, and says that she is the twin of Christian, who died in infancy. However, Friedland Moravian graveyard records identify Christian as the son of George rather than Jacob. Since George also had a daughter Salome Christina, we suspect that Felix Motsinger's wife probably is Jacob's daughter, and not Christian's twin. Can anyone confirm this?

Update, February 23, 2008: Jacob Freidrich Lachenour is Christina's father as per his Moravian memoir. It states "he went to live with his daughter Christena Motsinger in his old age when he had dropsy." Thanks to Anne Roberts Samsel for the confirmation. Anne's e-mail is: always_anne@yahoo.com
