Marriage Notes

The St. Julian and Offenbach Lutheran Churchbooks show the birth of six children to this wife. - James Sargeant Gobble -

The churchbook entries cover the period 1751-1818. They include the confirmation 19 May 1757 of George, son of Frederick Gabel and wife Mary Magdalene, with birthdate October 1740. The birthdate may be erroneous and the boy may be Johann Georg, born in 1738 in Germany. Or that son may have died and another boy born in America may have been named George. This would follow earlier precedent of naming a later child after a deceased child. Another entry shows the confirmation 10 April 1762 of John Nicholas, aged 18 years and son of Frederick Gabel. He may have been a son of Mary Magdalene. His mother is not named in the churchbook, although Frederick was married to Christiana at that time. It is believed that Mary Magdalene was his mother, that she died during or after 1744, and that she was the mother of at least eight children. - James Sargeant Gobble -
