Anna Maria Catharina Anspach was born abt 1677 and married 1st John Jacob Peter Batdorf in 1692. They had 5 children.
"In 1708-09, it was so cold in the rhine Basin that their crops, fruit trees, grape vines and meadows were killed by the frost. Rivers were ice bound and even the sea froze along the coast. Louis XIV taxed unbearably, and southwest Germany was plundered time and again by the French and German robber Barons.
The ravages of wars and the persecution of the Protestants made them fearful, so during the summer of 1708, Professor Johannes Jacob Peter Batdorf and his wife and five children left their home in the small village of Badorf, near Stuttgart, Germany, and traveled the tedious trip by boat down the Rhine River to Rotterdam. From Rotterdam, Holland, they were transported by ship to London England. They waited in overcrowded camps for the ships to arrive.
John Jacob Peter Batdorf died in London 1709. Catherina took her five children and went with her 3 brothers to America. On the ship, 3 of her 5 children died. Her husband and 3 of her children probably died of Typhus. Only Anna Maria Catherina and 2 children survived:
-one daughter Catherina Elisabeth Batdorf born 1697 married Christian Wilhelm Walborn
-one son Johan Martin Batdorf born 1698 married Maria Elizabeth Walborn
They arrived in New York, and were put in camps in tents on Nut Island (Governor's Island). Robert Livingston brought them to Livingston manor about 1710 (now Columbia, NY) and there they worked in the tar and pitch industry.
In 1978, George Thomas Zeller, historian, with the help of Prof John Valentine at Brigham Youmg University, compiled history of the Johannes Zeller family. In this history it states Johannes Zeller married the widow Anna Catharina Batdorf, the mother of Martin Batdorf".

In 1712-1713, they no longer were getting subsistency from Governor Hunter, had not been settled on the land they had been promisted. They moved to New Annsburg, (which was sometimes called Schmidsdorf) 60 miles northwest of Livingston Manor in the Schoharie Valley.
In 1723, 33 families went thru the woods, built wooden rafts and took the Susquehanna River to the Tulpehocken Settlement in Pa in 1723.
The descendants of Johann Georg (John Georg) Zeller feel that Johannes Zeller who married 2md Anna maria Catharina is the John Georg Zeller on the Memorial of the Zeller Family.
