Jaycocks/Lossing and Margaretha sp. 1754
I am a a researcher of Mc Gregory Van Every who married Mary Jaycocks. I believe Mary Jaycocks to have been the sister of the William Jaycocks that married Gertrude Lossing, and I believe them both to have been
the children of Francis Jaycocks, Sr. and Caecilia/Sussele (last name unknown).
The first record of any children born to Mc Gregory Van Every and Mary Jaycocks is the baptism of twins born on 15 June 1754, baptized in the Zion Lutheran Church in Loonenburg, now Athens, Greene County, NY.
1. PatrickWit:Samuel Drake, Elizabeth (Koenig), and **Margaretha Lassing.
2. Frenk (Frank) Wit: Frank Jekok, Grietje Davids Jakok (Grietje Koenig w/o David Jaycocks)
I need to identify this **Margaretha Lassing
and to determine her relationship to Gertrude
Lossing, wife of William Jaycocks.
In LDS records I find a Margaretha Lossing
married to Zacharias Ferdon. She was born in 1737, but no parents are given for her. There are Ferdon connections that would make this Margaretha a likely one to have been this sponsor.
Can anyone help me identify Margaretha and her parents?
Many thanks,
