CATHERINE SIMON MUSSELMAN TROUP abt 1737
The wife of Adam TROUP born: abt 1737 was Catherine MUSSELMAN born: abt 1737 (not 1741) as stated earlier. I have discovered that she was married prior to Adam to Mathias MUSSELMAN and had 4 children: Benjamin MUSSELMAN, Esther MUSSELMAN, Isaac MUSSELMAN, and Mathias MUSSELAMN jr.Each of these children were born between 1752 and 1758. Mathias MUSSELMAN must have died sometime between 1758 and 1762 when she re-married to our Adam TROUP. She was the daughter of Isaac SIMON born: 1700 France died: 1755 Frederick Co, MD and Magdalene his wife born: abt 1702 in Switzerland and died: Frederick Co, MD.
Catherine SIMON TROUP had the following siblings:
Anna SIMON born: December 18, 1735 marr: Samuel Bechtel
Susannah SIMON born: December 18, 1735 marr: Henry Funk
Magdalen SIMON born: abt 1739
Henry FUNK listed above is mentioned in records of Adam TROUP as being a dear friend.
*Esther MUSSELMAN is named in Adam's will as Easter MUSSELMAN, however I am certain that is a typo or mis-spelling of her name.
