Martin Moser and Margaretha SchwembauerJohann Martin Moser1 was the 5th great-grandfather of Florence Mosier and the youngest of seven children of peasant farmer Adam Moser and Maria Strobel. Martin, as he was known, was born on January 10, 1693 in Grossulrichshausen, Mittlefranken (now Bavaria), Germany2.
Martin was a shoemaker by trade. On June 29, 1717, at the age of 24, he married Margaretha Schwembauer, the daughter of Wolf Schwembauer, in Breitenau, Mittlefranken.3 Margaretha’s birthdate and birthplace are not known.
The Lutheran churchbooks of Breitenau 1637-1765 include birth records for seven children of Martin and Margaretha and death records for three:
· Maria Magdalena Moser, born 15 Mar 1718 in Breitenau, Mittlefranken, Germany; died 28 Aug 1718 in Breitenau, Mittlefranken, Germany.4
· N. Moser, born and died 5 Jun 1719 in Breitenau, Mittlefranken, Germany.5
· Maria Margaretha Moser, born 7 Jun 1720 in Breitenau, Mittlefranken, Germany;6 married Jacob Stanbrook before 1744.7
· Georg Fredrich Moser, born 3 Mar 1722 in Breitenau, Mittlefranken, Germany;8 married 22 Apr 1750 in New Hanover, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania;9 died between 21 Feb and May 1800 in Orange County, North Carolina.10
· Maria Barbara Moser, born 12 Dec 1723 in Breitenau, Mittlefranken, Germany;11 died 1 Mar 1726 in Breitenau, Mittlefranken, Germany.12
· Anna Margaretha Moser, born 27 Mar 1726 in Breitenau, Mittlefranken, Germany.13
· Johann Leonhard Moser, born 29 May 1727 in Breitenau, Mittlefranken, Germany.14
As a result of religious or economic pressures, Martin Moser and his family were part of the mass migration from Germany to America that began in the early 1700’s. The family sailed from Rotterdam aboard the ship James Goodwill under the command of ship master David Crokatt and arrived in the port of Philadelphia on September 11, 1728.15 Martin settled with his wife and children in the Perkiomen Valley at New Goshenhoppen, in Philadelphia County (now Montgomery County, near the Berks County line). They were members of the New Hanover (Falkner’s Swamp) Lutheran Church.
Of the children born in Germany, only Georg Fredrich (“Frederick”) and Maria Margaretha have been identified in subsequent records. It is not known whether Anna Margaretha and Johann Leonhard died in transit or after arrival in Pennsylvania, but no record of them in America has been located. Martin and Margaretha16 had at least four more children after arriving in Pennsylvania:
· Barbara Moser,17 born after 1728.
· Johann Philip Moser, born about 1730 in Pennsylvania;18 married Barbara Krangelich;19 died 1817.20
· Johann Michael Moser, born 30 May 1734 in New Goshenhoppen, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.21
· Johann Burkhard Moser, born about 1736 in Pennsylvania;22 married Maria Agatha Lichtenwallner;23 died 1807 in Lynn, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.24
Martin Moser died in 174425 at the age of 51. It is possible that his death was unexpected since he died without leaving a will. An administrator’s bond was executed on April 6, 1744 by Margaretha Moser, Benedict Strom and Herman Fisher of Goshenhoppen and filed with the Register General for Probate of Wills in the County of Philadelphia. The bond required that the deceased Martin Moser’s estate be inventoried and debts settled by April 7, 1745.
No record of Margaretha Moser has been found after 1744, and it is not known when she died.
