Other possible marriages:

We have some information that Christian was married to Elizabeth "Wollmarine" but we believe at this point that Elizabeth Wollmarine and Anna Elizabeth Walbert are one and the same. There has also been a suggestion that Christian may have perhaps had a second wife - one Elizabeth Stocker - but no documented information has been discovered that would substantiate this claim.

(Webmaster comment:  16 Kids????  some must be mixed up with others - still think Debbie Smith's list above is more likely.  And who are Daniel and Nicholas?)

From Christian's Will:

Children mentioned (11 total):  Mathias, Christian, Catharout, Frederick, Elizabeth, Mary, Margaret, Phebe, Catharina and Sophia

(Webmaster comment:  The only child that's missing that appears on the list provided by Debbie Smith is Peter, and we have no further information on him in any source yet found.  Perhaps he died young???)
