PA 4/17/1784) had 4 chldn, order not known.

[NI003406] Used German language before leaving Berne. It is possible they were of French Descent and perhaps French Huguenots. A portion of the Will of Christian Blauch dated 24 Feb 1783 & probated 8 Dec 1787 Dauphine Co., PA is abstracted as follows: Item: ...my 2 sons John & Abraham shall deliver unto my wife Rosanna, yrly, as long as she remains my widow, 10 bushels of wheat & 3 bushels of rye, delivered to the mill & to her as meal, 3 barrels of good cider, 4 bushels of potatoes, 50 lbs of good pork, 50 lbs of fat beef, 4 lbs of wool, 15 lbs of good hatcheted hemp, as much (split) firewood as she needs, & she shall have (the use) of as much of the garden as she needs, the choice of 3 apple trees my orchard & the apples growing thereon. My sons shall keep a cow for my wife & my wife shall live the back room of my house, & my sons shall put the room order at their own cost.

[NI003407] She is actually the 2nd wife _ not the mother of Jacob & Christian. Christian came as a widower. His 1st wife & mother of Jacob was Elizabeth Gastelli - they had 4 or 5 chldn.

She moved to her sons house in Lanier twp. Ohio between Gratis and Eaton. She passed on in the house, I can remember coming home from school and her bed being empty, and hoping that she was well. She had told me that you could tell if a chick was going to be a rooster if it was black. She loved to cook pork chops and fried apples for me. I would go to her apartment and stay with her a lot. I can rember her letting her hair down out of her bun and combing it. It was very long and would come to her knees. I fell guilty cause one time she fixed me a meal and I was off playing and forgot about it and it hurt her feeling.
