I have a KATHERINA MAUKMORE (MACKAMER) who was married to my 4th. greatgrandfather, JOHAN JACOB OHLINGER in Shenandoah County, Virginia in 1793.The marriage bond shows her as MAUKMORE, which is not a true name, but must have been spelled that way due to the pronounciation.She was an orphan girl that said that she was bound out to CASPER BRANNER, 'as will show in court' and that neither of her parents were alive at that time.At the time of her marriage to JACOB OHLINGER, she stated that she was of age and had lived with GEORGE ADAM ZIRKLE for the past two years.I checked the court records of Shenandoah County, Virginia and found a illigitimate child named CATHERINA, born to a girl named JANE GETZ, being bound out to CASPER BRANNER in 1773.This appears to be my KATHARINA, but who was her father?She was still living in 1850 in Scott County, Virginia with her birth being in 1773.According to the death record of one of her daughter, KATHERINA was born in Maryland.The 1850 census says Virginia, so I am not sure which is correct.I have researched this for years with very little progress.JACOB OHLINGER's was born in Berks County in 1770, with his parents moving to the Washington and Frederick County, Maryland area in about 1772, moving on to Shenandoah County, Virginia in 1787.If you could give me any help, I would be most grateful.Rev.
