Anna Elisabeth Hunsicker ¹⁹⁶

  General Notes:

Anna was born 17 March 1773, died 10 May 1864. Please refer to the approved application at the end of this book for the approved NSDAR application of Johannes Krumm, which is used to prove generations 1 through 6 for application of Johannes Hunsicker (Generation 8) and his son Jacob Hunsicker (Generation 7). Refer to the following Orphan Court documents which establish that Elizabeth above was the daughter of Jacob Hunsicker.

To Prove that Anna Elizabeth Hunsicker was married to Franz Krum, and that she was the daughter of Jacob Hunsicker, it was necessary to pull Jacob's Orphan Court Documents, as he died Intestate with minor Children. Here is a summary of the findings of the Genealogist Richard A. Musselman from the Northampton County Courthouse, from the Orphans Court Books:

7 Nov. 1796
The petition of John Hunsicker, eldest son of Jacob Hunsicker late of Heidelberg Township,
yeoman
John stated his father died Intestate upwards of seven years ago leaving the following survivors:
Widow: Catherine
Children:
Elizabeth married to Frantz Krumm
Catherine
Susanna
Mary
Henry
Jacob
At the time of his death, Jacob Hunsicker was in the possession of about 260 acres in Heidelberg
Township. John now requested the Orphans Court provide an Inquest and Partition or
Appraise the property. This would allow the Petitioner to accept the property at the fair
valuation.
[Note: The child Magdalena was included in the 1790 entry but not the 1796 entry. This suggests
she died between the dates of these two entries]

Book #6 pages 64-65
11 Jan, 1797
Henry Spering, Sheriff of Northhampton Co. reported to the Court that he had held an Inquisition
for the Partition or Valuation of the real estate of Jacob Hunsicker late of Heidelberg
Township on 5 Dec. 1796. The Inquest Jury of 12 men determined the 260 acre property
could not be justly divided among the widow and children without 'prejudice and spoiling
the whole'. The value of the property with appurtenances was assessed at 821.13.4 pounds
lawful money of Pennsylvania.
John Hunsicker, eldest son of the deceased Jacob Hunsicker, appeared in Court and accepted the
property at the full assessed value and offered Joseph Hunsicker and Henry Hunsicker of
Heidelberg Township as his sureties for the payment of the shares and dividends to his
siblings and the widow.
(Note: The financial accounting of the payments is included in the entry.)

These Orphans Court entries provide strong evidence that Jacob Hunsicker, father of Elizabeth
who married Frantz Krumm, died about 1789. I did not have the opportunity to review the original.

Anna married Francis (Franz) Krumm, son of Johannes Krumm and Ann Margaret Unknown. (Francis (Franz) Krumm was born about 1761 in Heidelberg Twp, Northampton Co., Pennsylvania and died on May 10, 1838 in West Penn Twp., Schuylkill Co., Pennsylvania ^198,199.)
