Anna Maria (Funk) Strickler (abt. 1727 - abt. 1797)

Funk-977 and Funk-1314 appear to represent the same person because: Merge to remove duplicate - Keep Funk-977 information

Beidler-64 and Funk-977 appear to represent the same person because: It seems likely that Benjamin only had one wife and the preponderance of evidence suggest that this was Anna Maria (Mary) Funk.

The two children of Beidler-64 appear to be duplicates of children listed on Funk-977

I'm aware that at least one book cites the Beidler surname for Mary, but multiple sources cite the Funk connection. I would recommend completing the merge into Funk, adding a Research Note section to mention the dissenting view.

The earliest record on Rootsweb that I can find 3/10/2000 Sue Tilleman states:

There is another 6/2000 that question the Tidwell connection and points to "Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage," Vol. XI, No. 1 (Jan 1993), "Turmoil in Conestoga," pp. 2-27), by Janes Evans as referance to Mary and Strickler -

Can you point to references for the Tidwell connection?

From Geni Profile

Far too many versions of Jacob Funk's parentage! He was definitely son of Henry Funk, who died in Lancaster 1735- but the parentage of Henry is what is uncertain.

Jacob Funk Birth 1695 in Bonfield, Baden, GERMANY [ Death 3 OCT 1746 in Strasburg, Frederick Co., Virginia married Frances 1696 – The following are the only children of Jacob Funk: from His will, Frederick County Virginia Will Book, 1, p. 93 and Frederick County, Virginia Order Book, 7, p. 347.

Frances Funk 1721 – 1795 married Peter Stover Elizabeth Funk 1723 – 1803 married Samuel Beam Jacob Funk 1725 – 1794 Henry Funk 1726 – 1790 married Susannah Simon 1726 – 1783 Mary Funk 1728 – 1797 married Benjamin Strickler Barbara Funk 1734 – 1758 married Johannes Supplee Keyser John Funk 1736 – 1784 married Catherine Stickley (was never a "Reverend") Jacob Funk, b. ca. 1695 in Bonfeld, Heilbronn, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, died on 3 Oct 1746 in Strasburg, Shenandoah Co., VA, as per a lease on 8 May 1750 in which he was already deceased, but gave land to his son William French. He emigrated perhaps from Germany to Hagerstown, MD which became part of Frederick Co., VA, and then Berkeley Co., WV. His father may have been Heinrich (Henry) Funk (1643-1735) and his mother could have been Veronica Fronica (1678-1735). He may have originally taken the migration path from England to Germany and then to the New Colony. Jacob m. Frances ca. 1719. Another record says Jacob m. Veronica Franey in Lancaster, PA, in 1718, when he was 23.

The following paragraphs are from “Pioneers of Old Frederick County, Virginia” by Cecil O’Dell, p. 373.

Jacob Funk was deceased by 3 Oct 1746 when his will (dated 28 Jun 1746) was proved in Frederick County Court. He bequeathed the mill and the 106 acres belonging to it to his youngest son John who was born in 1735 “as soon as he is capable”. (Tract 114K, Map 11) Jacob’s wife Frances and two small children were given the right of residence on the mill property. He instructed that his son Jacob Jr. be held accountable for the balance due on the 438-acre plantation (Tract 114I). He bequeathed 150 acres to his son Henry and if Henry declined to accept the property, he would receive equal shares in the total estate (Tract 114J). Henry Jr. sold the 150-acre tract to Jacob Jr., executor, in 1754. Jacob willed two shares each to his sons John, Jacob, and Henry and one share each for daughters Frances, Elizabeth, Mary, and Barbara, a total of 10 shares in his net estate. He appointed son Jacob Funk and cousin John Funk Jr. to serve as executors. Witnesses were John Willcocks, William Tidwell, and John Tidwell. The inventory of Jacob’s estate included 100 acres (Tract J, Map 11), bonds, notes, debts, and receivables of about 434 pounds. The inventory was returned to Court by John Funk Jr., executor, on 4 Mar 1746/46. (Note that the Tidwell brothers are mentioned various times in other deed of this Funk family).

As executor, Jacob Funk Jr, born 1725, and his wife Anne sold the 100-acre tract listed in Jacob Sr.’s inventory to William French for 20 pounds on 7 May 1750. Jacob Jr. of Frederick County, Maryland sold the 150 acres which he had purchased from his brother Henry in 1754 (Tract 1148, Map 11) back to Henry for 187 pounds on 7 May 1757.

Jacob Funk Jr. had moved to Frederick County, Maryland in present-day Washington County, south of Hagerstown, Maryland on Alternate U.S. Highway 40. He became a large landowner in the county, owning several thousand acres of land in the Antietam Valley. Some of this land is in Corbetts and Doub’s Addition to Hagerstown, Maryland.

He built the first mill on Antietam Creek at Funkstown, likely before the town was laid out. The town of Jerusalem, now Funkstown, Maryland, was laid out by him in the year 1768. He styles himself in the first deed, Jacob Funck (Funk), merchant. The first deed for a lot sold in this town was to Henry Snider, June 4th, 1768. The name Jerusalem has been abandoned by its inhabitants and the name Funkstown, after its founder instead, by an act of incorporation.

In the year 1768, he bought a tract of land on the Potomac, east of Georgetown. On this land he laid out the town of Hamburg in the year 1771. One account of the laying out of Washington,

Jacob Funk Sr. 1695-1746 Wife Frances Franey 1696-1758, Jacob's 1746 will mentions four daughters.

Mary Funk Tidwell 1714-1797, Frances Funk Stover 1720-1795, Elizabeth Funk Boehm 1722-1803, Barbara Funk 1734-1758 (note the married names are not mentioned in his will)

Funk-1317 and Funk-977 appear to represent the same person because: same person - dates on Funk-1317 appear to be more relaible.

Hello Ray. I'm working on the Spring Clean-a-thon for Wikitree this weekend. An error was generated for Mary Funk's profile: her death is before the birth of these children: Simeon, William Jr, and Absalom. Would you please take a look and correct this? Fellow Wiki Genealogist, Debbie
