I have a Faust family that I have been researching, connected to Hain's Church and members.? Magdalena Faust, a daughter of Johann Peter Faust (1679 Germany-1770 Berks) and his wife Anna Maria Greathouse (many say Hain, but she is named as Peter's wife in? Henry Greathouse's will) d 1803, had a daughter Magdalena who married Christian Deal/Diehl/etc at Hain's Church in 1767.? My research lacks adequate proofs, but Johan Peter appears to be the son of Johann Philip Daniel Faust b 1679 Langenselbold? Germany d 1770 there.? His wife Elizabeth L Rock per Ancestry.? Their children were, besides, Peter, Magdalena Elizabeth,? Johann George,? Maria Kunigunda,? Michael, Johan, Elizabeth, Philip, and Anthony.? Perhaps a middle or common name Daniel lurks among them.? I have very few proofs, and it's all murky yet, but I match DNA with a number of Greathouse and Faust descendants.
The Deal/Dale family moved on to Cumberland Co where Christian died.? Magdalena may have preceded him, unless Martha was her common name.? ?I would search the Hain's Church records of baptisms and marriages for sponsors, etc.
