Kilian Kuehnlin-- Early Pennsylvania Emigrant by Lesly Klippel, 4581
Powderborn Ct., San Jose, CA 95136 (408) 269-5484, Leslyk@ix.netcom.com
The Kirchenbuch (parish register) of the Evangelische Kirche in
Ehrstaedt, Baden, Germany (NE of Heidelberg); 1651-1963, Family History
Library Microfilm #1189149, Item 3-5, first mention George Bernhard
Keuhnlin and his wife Ana Eva in the record of the birth and christening
of Kilian Keuhnlin, b. 7 Jul 1695, chr. 8 Jul 1695.
The christening records of two more sons and three daughters follow:
Johan Georg, chr. 24 May 1698
Charlotte Ruffina, chr. 8 Jun 1701
Johan Pettrus (?), chr. 14 Jan 1704
Maria Sibila, chr. 6 Sep 1706
Maria Elizabetha, chr. 26 Mar 1709
Kilian's marriage is dated Jan 1717, but no bride's name is listed.
Killian next appears in New Hanover, Montgomery Co., PA (Pennsylvania
German Society XX (1909): pg 32-33 as a signer of a statement that John
Henry Sprogel voluntarily gave land that Kilian emigrated to Pennsylvania
between 1717 and 1719, probably with Daniel Schoener in 1717.
Daniel Schoener was born 25 Jan 1686, chr. 27 Jan 1686, also in
Ehrstaedt, Baden, Germany and he married Maria Catharine Horn on 17 May
1707. The Schoener family emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1717 and their
names appear in the Lutheran records in New Hanover township.
Killian's mother, Ana Eva, was probably Ana Eva Schoener, sister to
Daniel, whose christening in Ehrstaedt puts her at the right age, but the
marriage records of the needed years are missing from the Ehrstaedt
parish registers. No mention of the name Kuehnlin appears in the
Ehrstaedt parish registers after 1717, indicating the probability that
the entire Kuehnlin family emigrated with Daniel Schoener. Further
research in the early Pennsylvania Lutheran parish registers may turn up
mention of the Kuehnlin family in SE Pennsylvania.
The Lutheran parish register of Moselem Lutheran Church in Windsor
township, Berks Co., PA shows that Joh. Georg Kuehnlin, son of Kilian
Kuehnlin, married Philippina Schoener, single daughter of Daniel Schoener
on 14 b. Trin. 1745 and the following children were christened there:
Joh Adam, chr. 2 Nov 1748
Johannes, chr. 26 Aug 1750
Maria Catharine, chr. 22 Sept 1753
Heinrich, chr. 6 Nov 1755
In the same parish registers, the marriage of Ana Eva Kuehnlin, single
daughter of Kilian Kuehnlin and Jacob Petri, single son of Nicholai Petri
in Germany is recorded on 29 Sept 1747.
The following children were subsequently christened:
Johanna Kuehnlin, md. Johannes Hill, 7 ch. christened.
Barbara Kuhnlin, md. Jacob Schneider, 1 ch. christened.
Adam Kuhnlin, md. Maria Elisabetha Michlin, 2 ch. Christened
Kilian Kuehnlin's death in Greenwich, PA is noted in the Moselem Lutheran
Church records on 17 Feb 1757 (Moselem Lutheran Church Records, Richmond,
Berks, PA, p. 221, 224, Family History Library Microfilm #385069).
Kilian's will is recorded in the Berks Co. probate records, will Book 1
p, 38 (FHL Microfilm #20723) and mentions sons George, Adam and Henry.
A discussion of Kilian Kuehnlin and further discussion of the Schoener
family can be found in Eighteenth Century Emigrants from German-Speaking
Lands to North America, Vol 1: The Northern Kraichgau by Annette
Kunselman Burgert, pub. by the Pennsylvania German Society, 1983, Family

Will of Henry Petree
Stokes County, NC 1800
I Henry Petree of Stokes County in the State of North Carolina being in good health and of sound mind and memory thanks be given to Almighty God calling into mind the mortality of man and knowing it to be the destination of all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will and testament...recommend my soul into the hands of my Creator Jesus Christ and my body to be interred in decent Christian Burial...And as touching such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to help me...I give bequeath and demise the same in manner and form following: viz:
I give...unto Margaretha my dearly beloved wife all of my estate both real and personal to have...as long as she shall live a widow and it is my will that if any of my eight children named John, Catherine, Solomon, Henry, Mary Barbara, Ann, Margaretha Elizabeth and Ann Eva shall begin to keep house for themselves then she shall give unto each of them out of this estate so much for a beginning as she is able to do, provided, however, that one child shall always have equally as much in value as another, which shall always at every time be fixed and established...
2. But in case she should marry again then all of my land and plantation with my personal property shall be publicly sold by my executors and then she shall have the third part of the whole estate as her own sole property forever and she shall likewise have over and above this said third part one horse creature, one cow and one iron pot, all this of her own choice, and also her own bedding and her chest as her sole property forever. The remaining two thirds...equally divided amongst my above named children share and share alike...
3. And I do hereby ordain constitute and appoint my dearly beloved wife Margaretha and my trust friends John Zimmerman and Peter Frazier executors... In witness... I have hereunto put my hand and seal this twelfth day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred.
s/ Henry Petree SEAL
