William Frederick Maier of Camden, New Jersey
Hello,
I'm hoping to connect with someone who is also researching the descendants of William Frederick Maier, who lived in Camden, Camden County, New Jersey.He was in Camden for the 1895 NJ Census and for the US Censuses from 1900 - 1930, so I would think all of his children were born in Camden, but a lot can happen in 10 years.
WILLIAM FREDERICK MAIER was born Feb 1862 in Germany.His first wife was born in New Jersey, and died bef. 1895.He married (2) BERTHA ( possibly CHEILEMANN or THIELMANN) abt. 1896.She was born Jul 1876 in Germany.According to the 1900 Census, both William and Bertha immigrated to the States from Germany in 1882.
Children of WILLIAM MAIER and his first wife are:
i. WILLIAM CHARLES MAIER, b. 29 Dec 1885, Camden, Camden County, New Jersey.
ii. LOUISA MAIER, b. Apr 1888, New Jersey.
Children of WILLIAM MAIER and BERTHA are:
iii. CHRISTOPHER ADAM MAIER, b. 18 Sep 1897, New Jersey; d. 14 May 1987, Warren, Warren County, Pennsylvania.
iv. FREDERICK A. MAIER, b. Abt. 1903, New Jersey.
v. ANNA M. MAIER, b. Abt. Feb 1919, New Jersey.
CHRISTOPHER ADAM MAIER (WILLIAM FREDERICK) was born 18 Sep 1897 in New Jersey, and died 14 May 1987 in Warren, Warren County, Pennsylvania.He married MILDRED ARMINDA PIERCE, daughter of JOHN and MARY PIERCE.She was born 29 Mar 1900 in Pennsylvania, and died 18 Sep 1969.They had three children, two of whom are living.
There was another Maier family in Camden, New Jersey at the time of the 1900 Census who also immigrated in 1882 from Germany.I thought they might be related - possibly even brothers.
ANDREW MAIER was born October 1859 in Germany.His occupation was a butcher.ANDREW and his wife, CAROLINE, had been married for 17 years and had had a total of 7 children, 4 of whom were still living.CAROLINE was born January 1866 in Germany and had also immigrated to the U. S. in 1882.
Their children were as follows:
HELEN was born October 1884 in Ohio
ANDREW JR was born June 1890 in Ohio
JOSEPH was born June 1895 in Pennsylvania
CAROLINE was born February 1900 in New Jersey
JOSEPH is probably the JOSEPH THOMAS MAIER who registered for the draft during WWI.He was born June 7, 1895 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Thanks,
Diane
