Neither do I have anything on these two daughters. Don Bowman descends
from
one of the daughters who married a Pfoutz.

*************
Here's what I have gathered on the children of Elder Martin Gaby -

#2 - Susan (Susanna) Gaby (1767-1855) married Peter Pfoutz - lived in
Montgomery Co OH (Don's line?) (4 children - 3 [Mary, Jacob, Susan]
remained in Montgomery Co - one [Martin] came to Indiana - where?)

#8 - Esther Gaby (1777-1849) married John (Johannes) Pfoutz - they lived in
Maryland - Esther was buried at Union Bridge MD (Carroll Co), Johannes
died at Johnsville MD (Frederick Co) (4 miles away), which would be the
Beaver Dam Church (half way in between) -. (sons of Jacob Pfoutz/Mary
Bach)

************
#4 - Isaac Gaby (1771- ) - m. Magdalena Frantz - to Botetourt Co VA - to
Washington Co TN - 3 ch
#5 - Jacob Gaby (1772-1826) - m. Lydia Bashore - lived Berks Co PA - 7 ch
#7 - Daniel Gaby (1776-1855) - m. Susanna Schneider - lived Berks Co PA
#10 - Salome Gaby (1781-1867) - m. Daniel Fiant - to Indiana Territory - to
Fayette Co IN

I do not have much information on:
#1 - Catherine (1766-1855) married a Stump
#3 - Abraham (1769-1830) - 1/m - Elizabeth Schneider 2/m Catherine Rauts
#6 - Mary (1774-
#9 - Martin Jr (1779 married Susan Traut
#11 - Elizabeth (1783-
#13 - Solomon (1787- married Elizabeth Price
-

a note on the #12 John Gaby (1785-c1835) - married Hannah
- came to Indiana - lived near #10 Salome Gaby Fiant - in 1816 record -
lived west of Brownsville

His only child on whom I have information was Susannah - (1st ch?) born 9
June 1802 - in Maryland

John was born 15 Mar 1785 - which would make him just 17 years old when
Susannah was born
also, he was not living up in Berks Co PA, but down in Frederick Co/Carroll
Co MD at the time.
(with or near his sister Esther?)

John's wife - Hannah - is somewhat older than he (1820 Census - born
between 1770 and 1780) - or the decade older than John. I really would
like to know who she was -

I suggest that we investigate the marriages in Frederick Co MD - about
1802, when John got married - probably there.

Now - why was he with his sister, instead of up at his home?

An answer - could be why my ancestress - gr gr grandmother and her twin
sister were living with an aunt - 50 miles from home - when each of them
had a baby (at 16 - out of wedlock). Back then, family shipped a "problem"
to another community (family connection) to avoid too much gossip. (my
mother's aunt told her to tell me - to "shut my mouth!" - when I asked)

And John's father was Elder Michael Gaby!

just cogitating - need info
