Biography

"In the year 1746, the 28 day of January, Elias Dietrich, married Anna Elizabeth Stroud [sic]. In the year 1746, the 16 day of December, Their daughter Elizabeth was born at Philadelphia" (Roberts 1914, vol II p 253). This account is garbled, Elias married Anna Elizabetha Schopff (née Mayer) in Germany, prior to migrating to America in 1744.

Elias Dietrich [Jr] placed a petition before the Orphan's Court of Northampton County on June 23, 1762. According to the petition, the father of Elias Dietrich "died sometime in the year of our Lord 1760 intestate, and left a wife and five children, that is to say the petitioner Elias, the eldest son, and John, Judah, Christina and Jacob...." The petition goes on to state that the deceased died owning a plantation in Mt. Bethel Twp. containing 119 acres 138 perches. On 23 Sept 1762, Guardians [were appointed] for minor children of Elias "Tetrick", widow Elizabeth, next friend, Christina over 14, Jacob under 14. (Northampton Orphans' Court 1752-1795, vol C, pp 1, 14: images 64, 71)

This bio assumes that Elizabeth born in Philadelphia and Christina in the Orphans' Court records was the same individual. This needs to be verified. Later information about Elizabeth/Christina has not been located.

This biography is a rough draft. It was auto-generated by a GEDCOM import and needs to be edited.
