Brian,
Not sure why I didn't see your post sooner if it was posted in June as it shows. It seems the auto-notification works when it wants to.
Anyway you raise an important question. Anna Magdalena's Surname. I copied the following record from a genealogy report (like many I have seen) that uses it as the sole 'proof' of Conrad's wife being a Daubenspeck. They are reading it wrong! This does not give her last name. The Daubenspeck's apparently named there daughter after Conrad's wife Anna Magdelena. The Bloss's are just the sponsors of the baptism.
Church: Records of Egypt Reformed Church 1734-1807: Lehigh County, PA
DAUBENSPECK, Anna Magdalena, dr. Jacob DAUBENSPECK and w. Juliana; b. Feb. 16, 1753; bap. - ; sp. Conrad BLOSS and w. Anna Magdalena.
dr. (daughter)
sp. (sponsors)
As you can see the only Anna Magdelena Daubenspeck here is the daughter who is being sponsored. The record gives no indication of the maiden name of Conrad's wife. I have not seen any other record that backs up the DAUBENSPECK name.
The only source I have that gives a last name for her is in the Langenselbold records published in a book by Annette Burgert - 'Eighteenth Century Emigrants From Langenselbold In Hesse To America' - published 1997. In this she is listed as a Anna Magdelana REBER b. 3 June 1720. They married in Germany 30 Nov 1740 and had their first child Anna Margaretha there 12 Nov 1741. Magdalena is the daughter of Bernhard REBER (son of Daniel Reber and Maria ?RONPEL)and Anna Maria (dau of Valentine Ahl).
I would be very interested in any other source record that gives a surname for her.
