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]
