Mrs. Alexander Sr. Mack (maiden name Anna Margaretha Klingen) died 1720 in Germany. Rev. Alexander never remarried. In 1729 Rev. Alexander Mack Sr. and his three son came to America on the Ship Allen. The person who came to America and died here in 1758 is actually Mrs. Johannes Mack (maiden name Anna Margaretta Sneider). The names are so similar the mistake is easy to make.
