Gongaware: Posted by Geri Brennan Oct 29, 2003
Recently I read a great posting on the Gongaware family by Geri Brennan. I have a few questions however in regard to certain information. “John, son of Michael and Catharine, was born near Harrold Church, he married Margaret Kepple. Children: Jacob married ? Brinker, Joseph, Elizabeth who died unmarried, Mary married to Tobias Painter and Catharine married ? Klingensmith.”
Is this “Margaret Kepple” the daughter of Jacob Kepple and Eva Maria Mechlin? Can anyone (Altman, Gongaware, Kepple, or Mechlin) add information to this line as it relates to the Altman family? I would also like to add the related family information that ties from the Altman line to present day “cousins” Im from the 1749 Phoenix / Pennsylvania Altmann / Aultman/ Altman’s
Lydia , daughter of Jonas who was the son of Philip G. Gongaware and Margaretta Miller married Re. Myers and they lived in Baltimore.Is there any relationship to the Rev. Solomon Daniel Myers who was married to Sophia Louise Mahler?
Later in the posting “Jacob (Gongaware) son of Phillip G. and Margaretta Miller, born Sept 1799 married first to Elizabeth Whitehead, daughter of Stoffel and Susan. Children: John, Margaret married Solomon Altman, Eliza married Joseph Myers, Lewis married first to Mattie Allshouse, Jonas married Sarah Allshouse”
Is the Solomon Altman a son of the following families: Solomon Franklin son of John Ludwig “Lewis” Altman; Solomon, son of David Daniel Altman; Solomon, son of Johan “Peter” Altman; or Solomon, son of Johannes “John” Altman?
As a side note I have the Marriage of Eliza Gongaware and Joseph Myers producing a child: Elizabeth R. Myers who married John C. Altman, son of Johannes “Christian” Altman
Thank you for your kind consideration in sharing family data. May you and yours have a very Happy Holiday! And God Bless
