Notes for Verner (Werner) Mohn: 1767 Cumru twp tax list Vernon Moone 1 tax 1752 Cumru twp tax list Vernor Moon Vernor,s wife, Catharina, arrived on the same ship as he did. She was 3 1/2 at the time of arrival. Brenda's note: I don't think so, the children on this ship, Catharine and Conreet Crowl, were age 3 1/2 (twins?) both dead This info was copied from the Moon GenForum, posted by Mike Moon (Included here for reference) According to Burgert's book on the Langenselbold immigrants, "Wörner Mohn" was baptized 18 Dec. 1726 at Langenselbold Reformed Church, son of Johannes Mohn (son of Peter Mohn) and wife Margretha, daughter of the deceased Melchior Hack of Lichenroth. The sponsor at the baptism of Wörner Mohn was another Wörner Mohn of Langenselbold. The following is a summary of data I've developed around my search for the parents of Abraham Moon/Mohn. Most of the information below is based on research from others and there are some questions about exact dates. The purpose of developing this summary is to give a better perspective on when and where we've found Abraham and his alleged parents, Warren and Catherine Crowley Moon (as listed in the Mountain Democrat dated 10/10/1935). Maybe this will help trigger someone's search in a particular county, state or church. As you can see, the Crowl/Grauels, Mohns and Sixs all came from Germany and settled in Maryland and Virginia areas. The problem still is connecting Abraham to his parents. Abraham has been identified as both Mohn and Moon, as has Jacob and George.
