• Notes

  To begin, we have the following records:   Zwicker, Henry Elias   1828-01-12   1828-02-13      SJAL    George & Ann Magdalene     Mahone Bay Farmer Zwicker, John Edward 1829-11-19   1829-12-16      SJAL    George & Ann Magdalene     Mahone Bay Farmer Zwicker, Sarah Ann     1832-03-28   1832-04-27      SJAL    George & Ann Magdalene     Mahone Bay Farmer   I believe that these are the children of George and Anna Magdalena (KOCK) ZWICKER for the simple reason that it fits with their marriage date and I can find no other couple who could be their parents.   And we also have the following records:   Zwicker, Ann Abigail          1841-02-21   1841-05-24   SJAL    George & Anna           Upr Lahave Farmer Zwicker, Cassandra            1834-11-01   1835-02-10   SJAL    George & Anna           Upr Lahave Farmer Zwicker, Eleanor                 1838-11-15   1839-03-07   SJAL    George & Anna           Upr Lahave Farmer Zwicker, George William   1837-12-04   1837-01-31   SJAL    George & Anna           Upr Lahave Farmer Zwicker, Joseph Benjamin 1844-04-02   1844-06-28   SJAL    George & Anna           Upr Lahave Farmer   At first, this appears to be a different family; but then there is this record:   Zwicker, John Edward        1851-05-11         21 y          SJAL     D Measles, S/George Of Upper Lahave   As can be seen, there is no record of a John Edward in the Upper LaHave family, but the age of John Edward d. 1851 exactly matches that of the John Edward s/o George and Anna Magdalena above.  Also, the second set of births starts when the first set stops and there is no birth order gap.  And finally, Anna Magdalena’s brother John Christopher settles at Upper LaHave and names two of his children Henry Elias and Ann Abigail!   So I tend to believe that George ZWICKER and Anna Magdalena KOCH had (at least) eight children and that George moved his family from Mahone Bay to Upper LaHave in the early 1830's.  [Bob H]
