Biography
| Birth | 26 August 1820 | Sara Anna Koken was born on 26 August 1820 in Moore Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. |
| Baptism | 5 November 1820 | She was baptized on 5 November 1820 at Salem Lutheran and Reformed Union Church in Moorestown, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The Marx Room index lists her birth as in 1819. The pages are confusing, but since 1819 is not specified on her record, I am using 1820, unless I find something else supporting 1819.
The sponsors were Mathias Gogen and Maria Bower. Therefore it appears that Mathias was still single in 1820.1 |
