Notes for MARIA CATHARINA GRAEF:
The information that I have is from Fred T. May of Austin, TX from his book "The Shoemaker' s Children", Gateway Press, Inc.,, Baltimore, MD; 1998.
In his book Fred T. May states that Maria Catharina Graef was the second wife of Johann Nicke l Mey. The first marriage left no surviving children.
A Book, "Pennsylvania German Immigrants 1709-1786, Lista Consolidated
from Yearbooks of The Pennsylvania German Folklore Society", Genealogical
Publishing Co., Baltimore, 1980; edited by Don Yoder, includes a partial
list -- that has survived in the Bavarian State Archives -- of
emigrants who left the {former} Duchy of Zweibruecken in the Palatinate
during the period from 1728 to 1749. Noted in the book is a brief
account of the migration of a MEY family to America. The MEY family
members who left the small village of Niederhausen on the Nahe River in
1748 were: three brothers, Leonhard, Daniel, and Frantz Peter; three
sisters, Maria Elizabetha, Anna Margaretha, and Anna Maria {Lorentz};
AND, their sixty-two year old MOTHER, MARIA CATHARINA MEY.
Records of the ship Edinburgh show that they sailed from Rotterdam,
Holland via Portsmouth, England and, on September 5, 1748, arrived in
Philadelphia.
The above information came from an article by Fred T. May in the June, 1996
publication of Floyd County (KY) Historical and Genealogical Society.
In June, 1997, Fred T. May will go to Germany to further document his
findings. In September, 1998 his book was available. I have a copy of it.
