      Residence: Black Rock on Niagara River, Canada



      There may be a mistake in the will because the Anthony land was located in the Lot number nine of the third concession. Although this may have been another parcel.

      I think brother peter or Philip may have left lot 9 of 3rd conns to her (Sarah Anthony) later.

      Christened Sept 1,1707 in Pfungstadt, Starkenburg, Hessen, Germany



      Oklahoma Genealogical Quarterly, V. 14, #1, March 1969 - name was Jury Philip, m. Maria Julianna Houghtaling (Hoogeling, Huber, Hoverin). Philip came to America 11 Aug 1732 from Rotterdam to Phila. on Ship "Samuel." By 1745 he was in Sussex Co.
      NJ. In 1772 he moved with most of his family to Wyoming Valley in Pa. where he build Wintermute Fort. In Jun1 1778, the Fort was burned by the British. Most of the Wintermute family and several other families living in the Fort went to Canada
      with Butler's Army. Philip died in 1779 in Lincoln Co., Ontario, Canada

      Georg married Maria Juliana Huber. Maria was born in 1715. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


    2. 9.  Maria Juliana Huber was born in 1715.

      Notes:

      I am trying to determine the identity of Maria Julia Huber (Hover, Hoover) wife of George Philip Wintermute.



      A Johannes Hendricus Hover b. 1705 came to Philadelphia n 1735 and settled in Smithfield, PA before 1742. This was on the west side of the Delaware River in present Monroe County, Pennsylvania and only a few miles from the

      Stillwater area. He was admitted a member of the Reformed Dutch Church at Smithfield on 22 June 1745 and on 6 June 1746 Susana Holeyson his wife was admitted, having formerly been a Lutheran.



      Five known children:

      John b. 1738 killed in Indian raid. The raid was perhaps in 1756 when the Indian disturbances along the Delaware became severe.

      Henry b. 4 Apr 1740.

      Susanna bpt 14 Mar 1742 Smithfield.

      Samuel bpt 30 Dec 1744 Smithfield.

      Emanuel bpt 20 Sept 1747 Smithfield taken prisoner in same raid that brother John was killed in. Emanuel later served in American Revolution as a Captain. On 18 Apr 1797 Manuel Hover and Mary his wife of Northampton

      County, Pennsylvania conveyed 150 acres in Walpack to Jonas Smith and wife Mary, excepting one half acre, it being the common burying ground of Walpack.



      It is believed that a Johan Michael Huber who married Elizabeth Mennes, Catharian Huber who married Peter Conterman (Countryman, Gunderman, etc.), and Maria Juliana Huber Wintermute were perhaps siblings to Johan Hendricus (Henry). A Johan
      Michael Huber came on the ship "Snow Catherine" 28 May 1742. In the "Memorials of the Moravian Church" it is related that the brethern (Moravians) kept and preached a school in the upper valley of the Delaware on the Jersey shore in 1746 and
      1747 and were ministered to by a Joseph Shaw who came on the same ship as Johan Michael Huber and were the

      first colonists who arrived at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in June 1742. On page 75 in speaking of Johan Michael Huber it says "lost at sea in a hurricane on the passage to St. Thomas in Oct 1747 along with the missionaries Joseph and Mary Shaw.
      There was another Johan Michael Huber

      who arrived 21 Aug 1750 on the ship "Anderson." He is perhaps the one who married Elizabeth Mennes and had a son Johannes baptised Feb 1753 Walpack sponsored by Peter Counterman and Catharine Huber.



      The Hubers are mentioned in the parish registers of Trippstadt situated at or near Holzwald, six miles south of Kaiserslautern. Several Hubers came to Philadelphia in 1740's and 1750's.

      Notes:

      From Thomas Cornell (tvcornel@netusa1.net)



      There were two sons of Sylvanus Cornell who married daughters of Jacob Sipes. Son Enoch married Mary Sipes, and Aaron married Hannah Sipes. I presume the two families were neighbors but do not have any specific information.



      Sylvanus came to Canada with his family around 1802 and bought land next to his brother Daniel in Beasley's Broken Front along the Grand River near Preston (now part of Cambridge). He remained there the rest of his life, and two sons stayed
      there. The rest of his family, led by oldest son John A., went to the area of Sheffield in Beverly Twp. Enoch and Aaron were both members of John's church at Sheffield. Enoch and Mary are buried in the church cemetery. Brother Aaron and his
      family joined the movement westward to Lambton Co., but they stopped in Middlesex Co., west of London. They are buried in Lambeth where a son of my Gabriel Cornell lies. Did these possible cousins attract Aaron to stop there? Unknown.

      Jacob married Hannah Schauer (Showers) in Bradford Co., Pennsylvania. Hannah (daughter of Johann Adam Schauer and Maria Elizabeth Fritz) was born in 1736/1737 in Teerbosch, Athens, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


    4. 11.  Hannah Schauer (Showers) was born in 1736/1737 in Teerbosch, Athens, New York (daughter of Johann Adam Schauer and Maria Elizabeth Fritz).
