Her tombstone is in the Conewago Parish, "Most Blessed Sacrament Cemetery" in Adams Co. PA

It is uncertain if she is from Koblenz-Niderberg, Rheinland, Germany or perhaps the sister of Johannes Petrus Ickerodt brn. Nov. 3 , 1700

Even though a left part of tombstone is broken it reads:

It is unclear at the moment who Anna Margaret/Margarethae Ickerodt/Eckroth/Eckenroth may be. It could be that of #4 below but not proven fact, Further research needed:

1. Franciscus Eckeroit Christening 26, June 1697 of Koblenz-Niederber, Rheinland, Preussen Germany. Catholic/ parents: Joanni Eckeroit and Catharinae

2. Joannes Petrus Ickerodt(Eckerodt) brn. 03 NOV. 1700 of Koblenz-Niederberg, Rheinland, Preussen Germany. Catholic/ whose parents of Joannes Petrus Ickerodt(Eckerodt) was Joanni Ickerodt(Eckerodt)and Catharinae. Joannes Petrus Ickerodt also had sisters:

3. Anna Barbara Ickeroth Christened 14 April 1702. Koblenz-Niederberg, Rheinland, Preussen, Germany. Catholic/ also another sister named;

4. Odilia Eckerott Christening July 24, 1708. All of Koblenz-Niederberg, Rheinland, Preussen, Germany. Catholic

5. Anna Margaretha Ickerott(Eckerott)Christened 24 AUG. 1709. Koblenz-Niederberg, Rheinland, Preussen, Germany. Catholic

In old german script the "E" looks like "I" and may have been transcribed this way. Eckerodt rather than Ickerodt

The next mission; The Conewago Mission in Heidelberg Township, York (now Adams) County was the next to be established in a different place. Her tombstone is located here in Adams Co.

There are other possibilites of her Surname:

Please note: She possibly could be the daughter of Joanni Eckerott and Catharinae of Koblenz-Niderberg Rheinland, Germany.

Please note: Her possible Maiden name was Benninck/Benninck/Wenninck/Wenning/Wenig and I have also seen it spelled Benninghoff/Bennichoff.

Please note: Anna Margareth's grandparents may be that of Albert Benninghoff and Catherina of Laer Germany. Albert Benninghoff was born in 1640 in the Canton of Zurich Switzerland and died May 26th 1680. Catherina of Laer Germany and Albert Benninghoff were married in Gauersheim, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. Since Catherina of Lear lived in Laer Germany the town East of Eggerode Germany in NRW, Muenster, Eggerode, Germany. (Eckeroth Germany/Eckroth Germany)

Please note: If research finds she is a Bennighoff, then Anna Margareth's great grandfather would be Dietrich Benninghoff

Please note: She also could of never married and stayed an "Eckenroth-in" or "Eckerott-in" but still needs to be proved and is not considered fact at the moment.∼Burial and tombstone located in the Conewago Mission, Adams, County, PA

Submitter's note: Did this Anna Margaret marry? Was this the wife of John Eckroth or was this a distant relative that never married? I would recommend further research into this. (Joseph)∼Wife of Johan Dirck Eieckrodt

Submitter's note: She may be the one buried at Conewago cemetery in Adam's county, PA. It is unclear if she is the one buried at Conewago or if the one buried at Conewago is possibly a daughter to Joannis Petrus Ickerodt and Catharinae of Koblenz/Coblenz/Kowelenz, Germany. Futher research is needed.

Submitter's note: She would of been age 18 when she married in 1727.

Submitter's note: I have noted two other christenings that have also seen the name Margareth Gedding/Geddinck Christening. Please see below:

The other lists a Christening on 18 DEC 1703 at Sankt Remigius Katholisch, Borken, Westfalen, Preussen Germany; Daughter of Arndt and Elisabet.

There is also another marriage before this marriage in the same town by a Margaretha Geddinck to a Heino Harders on 16 JAN 1725 at Sankt Remigius Katholisch, Borken, Westfalen, Preussen Germany.

Update note: Children of John and Anna Margaret possibly from Kirkberg, Alsace-Lorraine, Germany "Should not be counted fact until fully researched".
