Note for:   Samuel Foulkrod,   BET. 1792 - 1793 -          Index
Marriage:

Paragraph 32 of the "Foulkrod document" from the Chester County Historical Society, provides that: 'Samuel Foulkrod, s/o George Foulkrod, Jr., mar. April 25, 1815 at St. Michael's Evangelical Church, Germantown, Rebecca Ashton.' The author (unknown) does not provide a reference to his source document for this date.

Contradicting that date, however, is Virgil D. White's "Index to War of 1812 Pension files, Vol. I : A-F (Waynesboro, TN (1989)), p. 750, which states: "FOULKROD, Samuel, SC-1107, Rebecca (Ashton) m 9 May 1815 Germantown PA, srv John Fesmyer's PA Mil, lived Philadelphia PA 1850-71."

Note to the Reader: In the Picton Press "Complete Catalog of Publications" (Fall/Winter 1998), a new publication entitled "(GERMANTOWN). ST. MICHAEL'S EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH Germantown (now in Philadelphia) Pennsylvania Volume 1 Baptisms 1741-1841." Transcribed and ed. By Frederick S. Weiser and Debra D. Smith, CGRS. 448 pp. 1998. #1566. Contains this description: "Here are some of the earliest Lutheran baptisms of Philadelphia with records beginning in 1741, not long after the church's organization. Lutheran practice required adult sponsors, or godparents, thus providing important additional information about the individual families since the sponsors were often family members."

In the 2nd paragraph of this description, "This volume contains all baptisms from 1741 to 1841. Marriages and burials began being recorded in 1751. A subsequent volume will translate and publish the lists of marriages, burials, confirmations and related data in the registers of the church to 1841."

It is reasonable to assume, therefore, that when the subsequent Vol. II is released, that the marriage date of Samuel Foulkrod and Rebecca Ashton can be confirmed.
