Christina Barbara (Osiander) Hepding has German Roots.
An alternate spelling of the name is Christiana.
Baptism: 14 Jan 1721 in Rötenberg. Christina Barbara was the daughter of Lucas Daniel Osiander and Agatha.[1][2]
Marriage: 2 Sep 1738 in Rötenberg. Johann Adam Hepding (son of farmer Hans Cunrad Hepding) with Christina Barbara (daughter of the former baker and school teacher Luc. Daniel Osiander).[3][4][5]
She emigrated to America in 1749 on the ship "Griffin" with her husband and family.[6][7][8][9]
Following the Revolutionary War, Barbara received compensation in 1786 for three barrels of flour that she had provided for the Militia (Stub Indent 3274).
She passed away in 1786 in South Carolina.
NOTE: Theodore Epton, in his book on the Eptings and Eptons of SC, includes his research on the Osianders, taking the line back to a Konrad Osanner (one of the original spellings of the name), who was born about 1410. Of particular note is a translation of a 3 June 1545 letter of condolence by Martin Luther to Andreas Osiander upon the death of Osiander's wife and daughter. (RHT)
