Sharon and Connie,? ?and others... I have some related Bechtel questions... In the Schwarzwald Reformed Church birth records I find the following: Anna Maria Bechtel, daughter of? Jacob and ______ b. 18 December 1798, Bapt. 13 April 1799 Sponsor:Susanna Bechtel Sarah Bechtel, daughter of Jacob and? _____________ b. 18 December 1798,, Bapt. 13 April 1799 Sponsor: Susanna Christian Sarah Gehrling, daughter of Samuel and? ______________ b.21 December 1798, Bapt 14 April 1799 Sponsors: parents ?18 Dec In the Schwarzwald Reformed Church marriage records I find the following: Bechtel, Jacob, Maria Gehrling, Ex[eter],? 21 December 1800 Lastly, 5 June 1834, Register of Probate grants Letters of Administration for estate of Samuel Kerlin "To Jacob Bechtel, a son in law of Samuel Kerlin, late of Exeter Township, Berks County, Yeoman, deceased" Also,? the Surety Bond for $500 is assigned to Jacob Bechtel, Samuel Beard [perhaps Bare], and William Bright, all of Reading. My questions are... working backwards: Can I assume we are talking about the same family here?? And if so... Who are the parents of Jacob Bechtel of Reading, who is the son in law of Samuel Kerlin, deceased 1834? Is the 1800 marriage record for Jacob Bechtel and Maria Gehrling, really a Maria Kerlin? Who is the wife of Jacob, and mother to the twins Anna Maria and Sarah Bechtel, born 18 December 1798? Any help is appreciated...?
