Biography

NoteIn the church records he is referred to alternatively as William, George W. and G. William. In most of his life he was known as William.
Birth13 August 1809William Koken was born on 13 August 1809 in Pennsylvania. Listed in Fackenthal's compilation of Raubsville Cemetery, completed 26 Mar 1920, as 13 Aug 1809 - 7 Apr 1877, age 67-7-24.1
Name-BaptmHis baptism name was George William Koken.
Marriage21 January 1832He and Maria Barbara Lesh were married on 21 January 1832 at First Reformed Church, 3rd and Church Streets, in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania,2
Property Record12 January 1833William was involved in a property transaction on 12 January 1833 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. when he purchased a one-acre property from William Raub and his wife Elizabeth. Book H5, page 169.
Census1840He appeared in the census 1840 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. William is listed as: William Gogen right next to Rosana Gogen.

Same families living next to William and Mary Ann in 1860 on Image 59 of 72.
Property Record29 August 1843William was involved in a property transaction on 29 August 1843 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Jacob Carpenter had been awarded $176 damages in the court of common pleas, to be paid to him by William Koken "for the not performing certain promises and undertakings then lately made by the said William to the said Jacob." William did not have the money available and did not pay him. It sounds as though William had been given seven years to come up with the funds, but the "rents and profits from said tract of land...were not sufficient to satisfy, within the space of seven years, the judgement upon which the said execution was issued." During that time he was unable to find a buyer or had not found a buyer for the property. William was notified that he should have the moneys before the Judges of the court at Easton, on the third Monday of April 1843. Evidently that did not happen, because the Sheriff, Peter Steckel, was ordered to seize "a certain tract of land situated in Williams township, in the county of Northampton, bounded by lands of Michael Halpin, George Kurtz, and others, containing one acre strict measure whereon is erected a one story frame house 24 by 15 feet and frame stable 20 by 21 feet, which remained in his hands unsold, for want of buyers, so that he could not have those moneys in the said writ mentioned, at the day and place therein contained." So the Sheriff posted notices of sale, for 7 Jun 1843. The Sheriff sold the property to Jacob Carpenter for the sum of $280, "he being the highest bidder." I didn't clearly understand if the $176 damages was subtracted from the sum paid by Jacob. In any case, the deed was transferred from William to Jacob on 29 Aug 1843.

Book A7, page 601
Census1850He appeared in the census 1850 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. William is listed as: William Kochin, 45, Laborer, with family all with surname Kochin, all born in Penna:
Mary, 40
Rosanna, 16
Joseph, 14
John, 12
Jacob, 9
Samuel, 8
Image 27 of 64. Two pages later than Rosanna. Rosanna may have been the widow of his brother.3
Census8 August 1860He appeared in the census 8 August 1860 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. William is listed as: William Goken (50, Lab., real estate value $500, personal $160),
Mary Ann (56),
Jacob (20, Lab.),
Samuel (17, Lab.),
Joseph (23, Lab.),
Sarah Ann (12, attending school),

Living next to Rosanna Goken, 65, widow with son, and then James Goken with Elizabeth, and then Abraham Goken, 44.
Census29 August 1870He appeared in the census 29 August 1870 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. William is listed as: William (age 60, Laborer, Real Estate $500 (?), Personal estate $500 (?), born in Penna, cannot read or write),
Mary (age 65, keeping house, born in Penna),
Sarah (age 19, born in Penna, cannot read or write),
Theodore Hackady (age 2/12, born April 1st) (last name very hard to read. Could be Hardwick or something else.)

Living next to two Koken families, Samuel and John. Could Samuel be a brother? Too old to be his son, and looks like the Samuel who wrote the will and died in 1888. Therefore, perhaps Louisa Diehl was his second wife? and the older boys were his sons by an earlier marriage?

This census shows William owning property, but I was not able to find a record of a property transaction after 1843.

Death7 April 1877He died on 7 April 1877 in Raubsville, Northampton County, Pennsylvania,1
Burial10 April 1877He was buried on 10 April 1877 at Raubsville Cemetery in Raubsville, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.4

Biography

Birth9 March 1847John J. Moser was born on 9 March 1847 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.1
Census1860He appeared in the census 1860. John is listed as: living in the household of Jacob Lesh (32, Merchant) and his wife Eliza, 33 (born 1827). Also in the household are Simon Knobel, 23 year-old laborer, Anna Dunken (22, servant) and Henry Jackson (23, laborer).

Image 66/72.

I have been unable to locate John's father George in 1860 so I assume he died in the 1850's. John's brother George is living in his sister's household, Maria Hahn.
Census1870He appeared in the census 1870 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. John is listed as: living in the household of Jacob Lesh (42, farmer) and his wife Eliza (43). There are several others in the household listed as domestic servants, including an Adam Moser, age 16. John is age 23 in this census, which is a correct age for this John.

I see a 6-year-old Adam Moser in 1860, in the household of Mary Ann Moser. Looks like the household of Jacob Moser and Mary Ann Fox. A number of them are buried in Blue Church Cemetery. She married a Yeisley after Jacob died.
Marriage3 September 1872He and Alice L. Nicholas were married on 3 September 1872 at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Riegelsville, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, John J. of Raubsville, and Alice of Kintnersville, PA.2

Clarence is a transcription error for Florence. Jacob Lesh Moser (age 16) is listed separately. Jacob Lesh and Eliza are listed but Jacob Lesh Moser is not listed with them.

Most of the Moser's are listed as Moses.3
Census-not found1900John has not been found on the census of 1900 Paged through Williams Twp. Maybe they had moved to Philadelphia by this time. Jacob Lesh died in 1899.

Biography

Birth1832William H. Hahn was born in 1832 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.
Marriage1853He and Maria Moser were married in 1853
Census2 August 1860He appeared in the census 2 August 1860 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. William is listed as: William (28, Blk Smith, $800 real estate, $200 personal estate),
Maria (24),
Mary Annette (7),
Anna C. (5),
Jane E. (3),
Sarah Ann E. (9 mos.)

Mary (17)
Anna C. (15),
Emma Y. (13),
Sarah E. (11),
Samuel E. (8),
John P. (5),
Rosie M. (2)
This whole family is marked "Cannot Read, Cannot Write". However, almost everyone on all the surrounding pages is marked the same way, and some people are marked "Cannot read" but they are not marked "Cannot write". I am really wondering if the enumerator marked it exactly backwards, and meant "Can read and write" or "Can read but not write". I find it hard to believe that the majority of landowning farmers in Williams Twp in 1870 could not read or write.
Census1890He appeared in the census 1890 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. William is listed as: William H. (60), Maria (56), Ida (11)2

Family: Jacob Bercaw (b. 1814)

DaughterMary M. Bercaw (b. 5 May 1844, d. 28 October 1913)

Biography

Research NoteSabilla appears to be the daughter of a different George, although he seems to be almost the same age. Online I see trees that show her as daughter of George and Susanna (14 Mar 1819) and they are in the 1850 Bushkill Ward census, with various other chilldren. So watch out for a George Moser with George W., John H., Rebecca, Sybilla
Birth1828Sabilla Moser was born in 1828. I am adding Sabilla as a daughter based on the 1870 census of Sabilla Bercaw with George Moser living with them.
MarriageJacob Bercaw and she were married, date unknown
Census20 July 1870She appeared in the census 20 July 1870 at Bushkill Ward in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Sabilla is listed as: Sabilla Bercaw (42), Keeping House, with Lizzie (10) and Ida (18), and George Moser, age 73.

Since George's wife Catharine did not die until 1911, why is he here, and where is she? Could this be a different George?
