Anna Margaretha RUCH was born in Northern Alsace (now France) about 1709[citation needed]. On January 11, 1724 in Langensoultzbach, Northern Alsace, (now part of France) she married Michael (Hans Michael) HAUDENSCHILD, son of Diebold, at the Langensoultzbach Church[citation needed].
The marriage record shows that "Hans Michael Haudenschild" was a shepherd at the northern Alsatian village of Niederbronn.
He and Anna Margaretha must have remained in this general area until at least 1745 for we know that eight of their children were baptized within this time period at the Langensoulzbach Lutheran Church located nearby.
Their children were: Johann George (1724/25-1727), Eva Elizabeth (1726/27 - 1727), Johann Michael (b. 1728/29), Joh. Henrich (b. 1731/32), Joh. Jacob (b. 1735/36), Maria Barbara (b. 1742), and Hans Diebold (b. 1745).
Her husband is among the passengers listed arriving in Philadelphia on board the Ship Dragon, Daniel Nicholas, Master, from Rotterdam, 17 October 1749[1]. The list includes Hans Michel Haudenschilt and Hans Michel Haudenschild, presumably father and son. Women and children were not named.
If Margaretha was born in 1709 and married in January 1724, she was probably not yet 15 at the time of her marriage. Someone apparently located her marriage record, although no citation is provided. Her birthdate is less certain.
