Okay, here's how I figure this all shakes out.
You and I are both of the same generation of descendancy from George Michael (Sr) and Anna Maria Hittel.
You....................... me
GMH Sr/Anna Maria ........GMH Sr/Anna Maria - 5th great grandparents
George Frederick/Mary ....GMH Jr/Christina - 4th great grandparents--- brothers
Levi/Margaret ............ David/Hannah - 3rd great grandparents --- 1st cousins
Anna/Charles ............. Joseph Mary - 2nd great grandparents --- 2nd cousins
Walter/? ................. Wesley/Anna - great grandparents --- 3rd cousins
Hazel/? .................. Iden/Emma - grandparents - 4th cousins
Perry/? .................. Alferd/Cecil - parents - 5th cousins
Sherry ................... Joe - 6th cousins, no removals
Unfortunately, I've read both Fredericks and Michael Jr's wills, and there's no great inheritance from either of them for any of us to squabble over, so all you get is the profound awareness that you've got me for a cousin !!:-)
BTW, both Frederick and Michael Jr, along with their sister Catherine, all died in Columbia County within a span of about a year from late 1828 to late 1829.The wills of all 3 are in Will Book 1 in Columbia County at the Courthouse in Bloomsburg.
The real "mystery" is where any of the three siblings, or their spouses, are buried.I do have pictures of the gravesite of George Michael Sr (Western Salisbury - Jerusalem Union Church on Devonshire Rd in south Allentown) posted at my website if you're interested.
It's always great to meet a "new to me" cousin!Feel free to keep up with the progress of my study at www.hittle.info .
Thanks so much for providing the information on your line!
Joe
