Wife of David Hostetler m. abt. 1820 PA.
Blanket chest "KY 1816" in possession of Connie H. It has a fraktur (birth certificate) in the lid. Catharina's says: Catharina Joder [Yoder][was] born in May in the year 1800. [Her] parents are Christian Joder and Magdalena, his lawful wife. The "in" ending on Catharina's surname, "Joderin," is a feminine ending and most folks simply drop it. I don't see the "7" with the month of May in Catharina's record. I suspect the word "Im" [in] which begins with a character that looks like a "7" [it's the letter "I"] might have been mistaken for a "7." Compare that character with the word following May, which is also "Im." The following word, "Jahr," also has that character, for the "I" and "J" are interchangeable in German. Thus, you have "Im May Im Iahr." I also suspect someone misread the word "Ehliche" as "Glick" on the right side. "Ehliche" should be read as "lawful" as in "his lawful wife."
