Parents

FatherJoseph Koken (b. 1734, d. before 1800)
MotherEva Reed (b. about 1741, d. between 1800 and 1810)

Biography

Research NoteMarried Henry Ott (1779-1857) and had 5 children, based on family tree on familysearch.org. I have read online that Rebecca was a nickname for Margaretha. The first name was not usually the name they were called -- if named Anna Maria, usually called Maria, if named Johan Jacob, usually called Jacob, etc.
Birth10 May 1781Anna Margretha Koken was born on 10 May 1781 in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The opinion of the archiver of the Reed family, W. H. Reed., is that this baby's name was incorrectly recorded as Anna Margaretha, but I have since read that Rebecca was a nickname for Margaretha.
Baptism17 June 1781She was baptized on 17 June 1781 in Upper Milford Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.1
Death12 July 1869She died on 12 July 1869 in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, Her birth record shows her name as Anna Margretha, but the birthdate on the stone matches the birthdate on the church record.
Burial15 July 1869She was buried on 15 July 1869 at Saint Pauls Blue Church Cemetery in Coopersburg, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.

Biography

Bio DetailInformation from notes posted on familysearch.org by JoanWolf1 on 26 Aug 2013:

History and Genealogy of the Reed Family, by W.H. (Willoughby Henry) Reed, Jeffersonville, PA FHL film #1321288, item 3, page 338, 340 Assessment books of Upper Saucon, Northampton, PA show Joseph Kooken as a cordwainer and his residence in Upper Saucon, the home of his parents. He was a shoemaker,in 1785 he is a farmer, in 1786 a saddler, in 1788 an innkeeper. Warrant of survey by the state of PA dated July 10, 1792 he was given 400 acres of land, in Northampton County for services rendered as a militiaman in the war of the Revolution. PA Archives Fifth Series Vol III pages 15, 55, 104, 295, 591, 608, 622, military records. In the early part of the war he was a private in Upper Milford Township militia. In 1776 he was elected the company's Captain and his troops were part of the Second Battalion, Northampton County Militia.
Birth1734Joseph Koken was born in 1734. The date of 1734 found on a tree on familysearch.org would be the same year as Henry, and would make Joseph one of the older of Johannes' children. I don't have any confirmation of his birthdate and have not searched for it.
Marriage1772He and Eva Reed were married in 1772 This was Eve's second marriage, her first was to Valentine Dickenschied.
Sponsor3 November 1782On 3 November 1782 in Upper Milford Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, Joseph was a baptism sponsor. Joseph Koken and Eva Elizabetha his wife were baptism sponsors. November could be written 9Bris.1
Sponsor2 September 1784On 2 September 1784 in Upper Milford Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, Joseph was a baptism sponsor. Joseph and his wife Eva Elizabetha were sponsors at Eva Elizabetha Kern's baptism.2
Deathbefore 1800He died before 1800 in Upper Milford Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, A tree on familysearch.org gives his birthdate as 1798. I have not searched for it.3

Eva Reed

F, #6685, b. about 1741, d. between 1800 and 1810

Family: Joseph Koken (b. 1734, d. before 1800)

DaughterAnna Margretha Koken (b. 10 May 1781, d. 12 July 1869)

Biography

Research NoteSiblings of Eve. One of Eve's sisters, Catharine (1726 - ), married Abraham Arndt, who was also born in Germany (1722) and died in Williams Twp in 1795 and is supposedly buried in the Raubsville Cemetery. They were married between 1745-1761, and their marriage is recorded in the new Goshenhoppen Reformed Church book. They had at least 6 Arndt children. Abraham has a will on file in Easton. The Arndt's moved to Williams Twp around 1768. He was on the County Board of Assessers 1772-77, and Tax Collector 1782.

I note this because it is a connection between Raubsville and the Kookens, if rather convoluted: Around the time of Eve's marriage to Joseph Kooken/Koken, her sister Catharine and her husband Abraham Arndt, were well settled in Williams Twp. Their homestead is at 910 Raubsville Rd (see attached photo from 2017).
Research NoteChapter on Eve Reed. in W. H. Reed's History and Genealogy of the Reed Family. Chapter 8, beginning on page 337, details what the author knew about Eve's branch of the family. I have attached the pages on Eve and Joseph Kooken. Their daughter Rebecca married an Ott. The book goes into detail on Eve's Dickensheid children, and on the Ott descendants.

The whole book can be viewed on Ancestry and other places on the web, including Hathi Trust:
Birthabout 1741Eva Reed was born about 1741. according to the History and Genealogy of the Reed Family,
