Peter Appleman

Notes:

Information from Charlotte and Reggie Rieth (RCRCMV@cs.com)



To continue with my line, Baltis had a son Matthias, b. Oct, 18,1744, who in turn had a son Peter b. July 5,1784, who in turn had a son David Russell Appleman b. Nov.15,1835.

Most of my history on the Appleman's comes directly from Appleman's now living in Bloomsburg, PA. who are also descendants of Johann and Anna Magdalena. They have original parchment land records etc. We saw these when we made a visit there and
also was able to visit the site of Peter Appleman's farm and also the cemetery (Old and new Rosemont). There is a story about Peter Appleman b. July 5, 1784. He had so much land that it took him 3 days to walk from one side to the other and he
gave the church a gold brick on the pastor's desk for his tithes and offerings for the year.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I had the Mormon library send me the microfilm from the parish church in Darmstadt, Germany where Johann Peter Appleman and Anna Magdalena Diekerhoff attended church. I found the Priest's records a
little hard to read because they are written in the old German script but the names are very readable as well as the dates.

I have the priest's recording of Anna Magdalena Diekerhoff's confirmation in 1690 and also that of her sister, Anna Maria Diekerhoff in 1682.

The next find I made was the record of the marriage of Johann Peter Appleman and Anna Magdalena Diekerhoff on Feb. 7, 1700. That is on page 426 of the records. Some of the page numbers are not legible.

Then I found the priest entry on April 2, 1701 recording the birth of their 1st child Johann Peter-----then April 2, 1702, Johann Michael-----then Dec. 19, 1703, Elisabeth, also birth records of Anna Catherina Dec. 4,1705-----Maria Catherina
March 13,1707----Johann Daniel July 26, 1708.

I found your entries under Google on the internet and because church records show Anna Magdalena as a Diekerhoff, I really don't think using her name as Pickle is correct and may be confusing to others reseaching her. We have other items that
also use the name Diekerhoff.

You can find these records on "Europe film area 1347169 item 3-4". If you go to the Mormon family center, they can give you a booklet on reading the old German script which makes it easier to spot these names. They can also order the microfilm
for you.

Her surname was previously listed as Pickel/Pickle.



The Appleman / Pickel information came from Marietta Pickell (csimp@uclink4.berkeley.edu) , from the"Palatine Families of New York" by Hank Jones.
