• Notes

  Barbara Unruh was born on 8 August 1724 in Niederhochstadt, Palatinate [Germany], a daughter of Philipp Unruh and his wife Anna Barbara ______. She was confirmed on Easter in 1739 in Niederhochstadt. She married Georg Simon Bressler in 1748 in Niederhochstadt, Palatinate [Germany]. Mother of seven children. She predeceased her husband (i.e. she died before 12 November 1802) in Pine Grove, Berks County, Pennsylvania (present-day Washington Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania). NOTE: Although "The Bressler/Pressler Family of Niederhochstadt/Pfalz and Berks County, Pennsylvania" by Elizabeth B. Bunting mentioned Schirmann as a "reasonable but unverifiable" maiden identity for Anna Barbara, wife of Simon Bressler (Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine, Volume XXXVII, 1992, Number 4, page 357, footnote 23), further examination reveals no suitable unmarried woman named Anna Barbara Schirmann as a possible later wife of Simon Bressler, nor other clues that would link the families via marriage. Instead, careful examination of church registers in Pennsylvania and in Germany suggests that Simon Bressler married Barbara Unruh of Niederhochstadt in 1748 during one of the gaps in the Niederhochstadt marriage register.
