AbstractDetails continuing research by the author for the immigrant Carl / Charles Koenig / King (? - ca. 1780). While no immigration records have yet been discovered, the author believes his ancestor married three time. There was a Carl Koenig who married Christina Schmidt from Zweibruecken in 1754 at Trinity Lutheran Church, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Then, in 1758 there was Carl Koenig, "a widower," who married Catharina Herburger at Canadochly Union Church, York County, Pennsylvania. Finally, there are records for a Carl Koenig, "a widower for the second time," who married Eliesabetha Barbara Brinck in 1759, also in Canadochly Union Church. The marriage records state that Eliesabetha Barbara Brinck was the "left behind" daughter of Johann Jacob Brincker, formerly of Senssbach in Orttewald / Odenwald. Research indicates Eliesabetha Barbara Brinck was born in Beerfelden Parish, Erbach, in the modern state of Hesse.
