Biography

Maria Salome Weicker, daughter of Johann Georg Weicker and Barbara Elisabeth Weicker was born Jul 20, 1721 in Wattenheim, Germany.[1]

The Weicker family came to Pennsylvania in 1724 and settled in Frederick or Providence townships, Philadelphia/Montgomery County, near some of the Kepners.

Maria and Benedict Kepner were married in 1734 in Berne Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, where they still lived in 1756.[2]

Maria and Benedict had eight children:

  1. Jacob (1735-1825)
  2. Bernhardus S. (1739-1809); married Eve Catherine
  3. Johannes (1743, baptized 26 Mar 1744-?)
  4. Hanna (1745-?); married 22Apr 1766 to Franz Roth
  5. Benedict III (1746-?); married 10 Jan 1766 to Maria Elizabeth Reier
  6. Benjamin (1750-22 Sep 1804); married after about 1770 to Marie Susanna Strauss
  7. Maria Margaretha (1753 baptized 19 Feb 1755-?)
  8. Elisabeth (1756, baptized 15 May 1757-?)[2]

Maria Salome died Feb 19,[2] possibly in 1757,[3] in Berne Township, Berks County, Colonial Pennsylvania.[2] (Sidener's book gives 1751, which is impossible if she had children born 1753 and 1756.)[3]

Maria Salome's surname is also given as Winter.[2]

Research Notes

Maria Margaretha and Elisabeth both had Elisabeth Winter as sponsor at their baptisms. Sidener gave Maria Salome's name as Winter.

Even though it seems improbable for her to have a child at age 14, it is not impossible. Perhaps that is why she died fairly young.
Dates may be wrong. If born in 1721, she was only 13 at marriage and 14 at birth of first child.
