~ Johannes (John) Ling 1767 - abt. 1830 ~
John's WikiTree Page
John Ling Family Group Sheet
John Ling, the oldest child of Anthony Ling and Elizabeth (Rad) Ling, was born in Darmstadt, Germany, in the Hesse
region in 1758. Hessen-Darmstadt, was the seat of the Landgraves. His wife Catherine was born in *1759 in Hanover, York County, Pennsylvannia.
Catherine and John both died in 1835 in Bedford County. They had 6 children. Christian, the 6th child was born in Bedford in 1803. He is our Line. Up to this time
it was easy to see where husbands and wives met. However, since coming to America and John meeting up with Catherine, no luck unless records can be found.
John and Juliana Catherine were married in *1787, which was 6 years after the family landed in Baltimore., thus making John 29 years old at that time.
Catherine was 44 when Christian was born. Guess they weren't too concerned about age and late pregnancy back then.
*Dates are possibly incorrect as they are from Ancestrey.com and looking at other family trees with the same people, each have different dates for the same
folks.
Need to find the correct records in the locations in Pennsylvania and Germany.
This is all very confusing... On WikiTree, they have Daniel as a half brother... was either John or Catherine married before? Yet all the children come from the same parents.
AND they say they had 10 children when only
7 are listed. WikiTree shows Catherine's first name as Juliana. I guess you can't really blame mistakes on anyone since it was so long ago, and record keeping wasn't really
that important, possibly, to the family.
