• Notes

  Eva Margaretha Gacken and Johann Michael Hollenbach were married 17 Oct 1758 at Red Hill Church. She died before 30 Dec 1809 when Michael wrote his will, as she is not mentioned in it. From Raymond E. Hollenbach's genealogy: There are at St. Paul's Church (often called Smoke Church) near Hamburg, a number of graves in a row marked mostly with common field stones, with only the initials and a few dates. Some of these are probably graves of Michael's children who died young. There is one larger stone with a more complete inscription which reads: 1745 1st Mar. Giret Hollen.Bachin ist alt wort IAHR LEBEN 29 IAHR in der EH This seems to be the grave of Anna Margaret, wife of Johann Michael Hollenbach, as the number of years married appears to agree with the year they were married at Red Hill. Using Raymond Hollenbach's reading of the stone 29 yrs of marriage added to 1758 the year of marriage gives her a death year of 1787. Inscription 1745 1st Mar. Giret Hollen.Bachin ist alt wort IAHR LEBEN 29 IAHR in der EH
