Hi,
From what I have gleaned from a number of researchers, Catherine/Cateren and her brother Daniel were the only children of Johann Daniel Maus/Mouse and his marriages to Mary Gilbert and the Widow Mosier/Moser.I have not found out for sure which of the two was their real mother.Thanks for the info on Catherine and her marriage to Marcus Swadley.I have info from other's that his name was Mark/Marks, so that adds to that info.I also thank you for her/their children's names.Any other info I can supply I will share.Also, I can supply you with the address of Helen Poe in WV who has done extensive research on the Maus/Mouse ancestry and you can get a copy for about $30. There is not any info on the Swadley's in it.A lady in AZ supplied me with info on the German ancestry of the Mouse family in Germany compiled by a Mr. Goelzer.He traced the family back to Hornbach, Germany to the year 1646.The original name was Mauss, shortened to Maus before departing Germany and changed to Mouse after arrival in America. This is what I have gleaned from all of the sources I have found.I try to credit the work of others and will try to supply their Email addresses if possible.Bye for now.
