Biography

Birth

Helena Barbara Sachs was born around the first of September 1703 and baptized, September 4, 1703 in Oggersheim, in the Palatinate, daughter of Johann Peter Sachs and Maria Catharina. She was sponsored at baptism by "Jungfrau" (single woman) Helena Barbara Sachs. ^[1] twenty-three years later, May 9, 1725, she in turn sponsored her niece, Helena Barbara, daughter of Isaac Beyer and his wife, Helena Barbara (born Sachs). Helena Barbara was still single when along with Johann Jacob Renner of Mutterstadt, she sponsored a child at Oggersheim, January 11, 1726. They were probably there to declare their banns because the following month she married Johann Jacob Renner and moved to Mutterstadt, where they had seven children baptized in the Reformed Church. In 1754, authorities granted Johann Jacob Renner permission to leave with a party of ten, which included his wife and children. ^[2][3]

With her husband, Johann Jacob Renner, Barbara and her family arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania September 30, 1754 in the Ship Edinburgh. ^[4][5][6]The family structure is described in this reference. ^[7][8]

Various internet family trees report her death in 1754, however, she apparently did die within a year of arriving in Pennsylvania, since, Johann Jacob remarried in April, 1756.
