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

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.
