  2. Kirchenbuch, 1565-1961 [1650-1741] Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche Schönau (A. Heidelberg), 163B, p.212. Anna Catharina Kern [was born on her father's Linnebacher farm one mile south of Schoenau abt the 8th and] was baptized on the 10th of Mar 1720 in Schoenau. Her parents were [Christophel] Henrich Kern a citizen and farmer and his wife Veronica [Rusch]. Her godparents were Johann Adam Kratzer from Neudorf [2 miles north of Schoenau] and his wife Anna Catharina. Comments: Godparent: 207-B.

  7. Items 1 - 2 Kirchenbuch, 1565-1961 [1741-1802] Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche Schönau (A. Heidelberg), 505DB,p.332. Johann Henrich Lang a citizen and local master locksmith from Heidelberg at age 31 years, 3 months, and 14 days died on the 21st and was buried on the 23rd of Dec 1742 in Schoenau. His parents were Johannes Lang a citizen and wine gardener at Heidelberg and his wife Catharina [nee unk]. [These dates indicate Johann Henrich Lang was born abt 7 Sep 1711. However, please see comments.]. Comments: Since Henrich's sister, Catharina, was born on the 26th of Aug 1711 in Heidelberg, Henrich could not have been born on the 7th of Sep 1711 in Heidelberg. Since Henrich's birth record was not found in the Heidelberg or Schoenau church records, perhaps he was born somewhere else, maybe, like Switzerland. Since Henrich died at such an early age and his birth record was not immediately available in Schoenau, perhaps his parents erroneously reported his age as 31y. 3m. 14d. Maybe he was 32 or 33. Since his parents Johann Lang and Catharina were not citizens of Baden [Germany] in 1711, perhaps they were from another country like migrant workers from, maybe, Switzerland. Even though a marriage record was not found in the Heidelberg or Schoenau church records, we presume Henrich married Catharina abt 1737. Catharina Kern's parents were from Switzerland and as members of the Reformed Religion, they were very fussy about who their daughter married. Perhaps, someone from Switzerland would be appropriate; someone who was also a member of the Reformed Religion. So, where were they married? Even though it was recorded that Henrich was "from Heidelberg", it does not mean he was born there. Therefore, I propose that Johann Henrich Lang was born around the 7th of Sep 1710 in Switzerland.

  9. Kirchenbuch, 1565-1961 [1650-1741] Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche Schönau (A. Heidelberg), 216BD,p.266. Anna Barbara Lang [was born at home on the Lindenbacher farm one mile south of Schoenau abt the 13th and] was baptized on the 13th of Mar 1740 at home because of weakness. Her parents were [Johann] Henrich Lang a citizen and local locksmith and his wife [Anna] Catharina [Kern]. Her godparent was Anna Barbara Simon the single daughter of Johann Daniel Simon a local shoemaker. Because of weakness, Anna Barbara Lang soon died [about the 13th of Mar 1740 at home].
  10. Items 1 - 2 Kirchenbuch, 1565-1961 [1741-1802] Evangelisch-Reformierte Kirche Schönau (A. Heidelberg), 532W,p.546. Georg Happes a farmer and member of the Lutheran Religion and Catharina [Kern Lang] a member of the Reformed Religion and widow of Johann Henrich Lang a local master locksmith. The blessed couple were married on the 28th of Dec 1744 in Schoenau. His father was Nicolaus Happes a citizen and resident at Altneudorf [2 miles north of Schoenau]. Her father was Johann [Christophel] Henrich Kern of the Linnebach. Comments: No other place, but here, do I find Christophel Henrich Kern shown as [Johann] Joh. Henrich Kern.
  11. Harrison N. Hoppes, compiler, Swiss Roots: A History of the Happes Family to 1800 (Baltimore: Gateway Press, 1985), 001SW,p.10-13. Georg [with a marriage symbol] 28 Dec 1744 Cathrine Lang nee Kern. [Michael Haps and Elisabeth Zimmerman were the parents of Georg Happus.] In the years following Elisabeth's death, Michael saw his five other children reach maturity. His oldest son Georg was the next to marry. Although Michael had once hoped that Georg would continue to farm his land and eventually inherit it, Georg's interest lay elsewhere; he had fallen in love with the young widow Catherina Lang from Schoenau. Herhusband Heinich Lang, Schoenau's master locksmith, had recently died leaving Catherina with three [two] small children: Georg born in August 1738, Barbara born [and died] in March 1740, and Friedrich born in June 1741. Catherina and her children were now living on her father Heinrich Kern's farm, the Linnebach, situated in the valley on the southern edge of Schoenau. ---And so, when Georg and 24-year-old catherina discussed marriage with her parents, Catherina's mother insisted that the ceremony be conducted by a Reformed pastor despite Georg's Luthern upbringing. They were married in December 1744 by Schoenau's Pastor Nikolaus Schmalz..

  88. Hoppes, Harry and Kern, Denise: Hoppes Generations. At the encouragement of his two stepbrothers, young George's entire family moved to western North Carolina in the mid-1760s. It was an exciting journey, one that opened young George's eyes to sights he had heard about but had never seen in his teenage years of domestic life and apprenticeship as a blacksmith. George's father decided to make their home in "Miller's Settlement" on Deep Creek, Surry County. At first, young George wasn't sure that this was such a good idea because Christian Miller was a rough, tough, German-speaking fellow who initially scared him. All that changed rapidly, however, when George became attracted to young Elizabeth Miller, and George's kid sister Barbara fell in love with Jacob Miller. Because George was five years older than his next brother John, he spent considerable time helping his father and mother set up their new home. Still, he found plenty of time for his blacksmith activities. He and Elizabeth Miller were married as the turmoil concerning the American Revolution continued to mount. Their first child, Anne,--. Comments: The Elizabeth Miller that married George Heinrich Hoppes Jr. may not have been the daughter of this Christian Miller because the daughter of this Chritian Miller (Catharina Miller's father) may have married Mathias [Zimmerman] Carpenter.
