This Back/Bach family is not related to Harman Back (aka Hermann Bach), from Freudenberg, Germany. A significant amount of documented research proves this.
She was the daughter of Johann Heinrich Bach and Anna Hoffman. She was born on her parent's farm, along Crooked Creek.
Her first name was probably Anna, but her name has not yet been confirmed.
Her father, Johann Heinrich Bach, had changed the spelling of his name after he immigrated to John Henry Back, and so all his children then spelled their last name as Back.
She married Benjamin Strother in 1776, shortly before he left to serve in the Revolutionary War. During the war, he was badly injured, when he fell off of his horse and dislocated his shoulder, in January of 1780. This took place in Burlington, New Jersey, right across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. He was discharged on January 30, 1780. He went home to his wife. They apparently lived with her parents, on her family's farm.
Anna and Benjamin's son John was born around 1782. They had named him after Anna's father. Shortly after their child John was born, Anna and Benjamin moved to Fauquier County, Virginia, where three of Benjamin's brothers were living ( Reuben, James, and William). Benjamin was listed on the 1784 Personal Property Tax List in Fauquier County.
Anna and Benjamin had seven more children. Anna then died, around 1804, probably during childbirth. She was probably buried on their farm in Fauquier County. Benjamin got remarried, on 1-18-1806, to Sarah Ann Wynn.
Anna and Benjamin's children:
1. John Strother--born around 1782. It was said that he later moved "out west," which may have referred to Kentucky. Nothing else is known about him.
2. Nancy Strother--born around 1785. She married Archibald Hawkins, but she soon died, probably during childbirth.
3. Charlotte Strother--born about 1787. She married William Brown on 12-10-1806, and they had five children. Both Charlotte and William died, sometime before 10-27-1836, because that was when a man named William Fowke Phillips was named guardian of their four youngest children.
4. Jemima Strother--born about 1788. After her sister Nancy died, Jemina married Nancy's widow, Archibald Hawkins. They had eight children. She died on 6-28-1853, in Rappahannock County, VA. Archibald died in July of 1869.
5. Larkin Strother--born about 1792. He served in The War of 1812. He probably died, shortly before 1870, probably in Warren County, VA.
6. Benjamin Franklin Strother--born 6-24-1794. He also served in The War of 1812. He married Nancy Tippet on 8-30-1819, and they had twelve children. They later moved to Hampshire County, VA (now WV), where they both died.
7. William Strother--born about 1800. He was a very strange man. He later sued all of his siblings, and their spouses, claiming that he was entitled to inherit his father's land. It was so ridiculous that nobody answered his lawsuit and nobody showed up for court. He died around 1868.
8. James Strother--born about 1803. He married Nancy Hambrick on 11-26-1823, and they had seven children. She died around 1850, and he got remarried to Alice Ann Tippet Smallwood Cocke. She was either a sister, or a half-sister, to his first wife. James died in 1872, in Frederick County, VA, and Alice died in 1887.
