Descendants of Adam Moses 09/02/2008

10. Maria Engel³ Moses (Johann Adam², Johann Peter¹) was born February 16, 1759 in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and died April 08, 1848 in West Pikeland Township, Chester County, PA. She married Philip King Bef. 1785, son of Michael König and Eva Kachler. He was born April 01, 1756 in Pikeland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, and died September 01, 1824 in Pikeland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Notes for Maria Engel Moses:
1) There is conflicting information regarding Mary's name:

Mary's middle name is given as 'Engle' in the letter from Peter Allen Moses, but is shown as 'Angle' in her father's will. However, church registers from St. Peter's Lutheran tend to show her name most often as "Maria Engel Koenig" or "Maria Engel König". Information about her burial shows her name as Mary Ann (see below).
