- This is the mother shown by Pastor Kocherthal for these later children.
However, it is possible that he transposed the mother's name. In that
case, perhaps Johann Wilhelm had only one wife for all his children. "The
mother of Valentin's later ch. bpt. by Pastor Kochenthal was called
Elisabetha Maria - and not Maria Elisabetha, as was the wife in Germany.
Even though Valentin's initial entry on the Hunter Lists shows only 1
pers. over 10 yrs. of age and 1 pers. under 10, it is possible that
Kocherthal transposed Valentin's wife's name from Maria Elisabetha to
Elisabetha Maria, as the 1st wife's brother Johann Peter Becker continues
to sp. the family in America; thus it is difficult to determine with
certainty if Valentin married twice (HJ)."This is the mother shown by Pastor Kocherthal for these later children. However, it is possible that he transposed the mother's name.
