Biography

Johan Wilhelm Casselman was born about 1711 in New York. He passed away in 1760 in New York.

Research Notes

• Several other records show him married to an Anna Margaretha Empey (1730- ), and Anna Margaretha Saltzman/Saltsman. Further research is needed. -[Fetterly-28].

These statements were cut-and-pasted from the profile of Johannes' nephew of the same name, as there was previously confusion between the 2 men:

• MARRIAGE: About 1738 William married Anna Margretha Salzman - no marriage record found, but proof is in the 1739 baptism record of their first born child [below] listing parents & BOTH GRANDMOTHERS - Casselmann and Salzmann. (Nephew.)

• Also consistent with the 1744 Lutheran congregation of Stone Arabia recorded by Rev. Peter N. Sommer. (Dillenbeck, Rev. Andrew L. (1931). Lutheran Trinity Church of Stone Arabia, NY. p. 22.); (Nephew.)
