Ludwig's birth estimated as about 1725 place unknown
Ludwig's will was probated in Grainger Co, Tennessee 5 Jun 1809
We do not know much about Barbara. Some researchers have her maiden name as Boyer. I have never seen a citation establishing this. He does call her Barbery in his will.
Some have claimed that Ludwig/Lewis was prior married to Engelina Gerst in Pennsylvania with children Catherine and Michael that were 'abandoned'to be raised by the grandparents. Can't prove this assertion in any fashion.
Rough estimated for son Henry[1750-1847]
Married Margaret Click/Cleek1787. She died 12 Aug 1845
They migrated to Clinton Co, Indiana in the 1830's from Tennessee along with almost all of their children. This includes John
How are you connected to this family?
Thanks
