Notes: | RootsWeb has a listing for a Catherina Lauffer who died in 1847. She is also listed as being married to Heiny Balthaser. But the settlement papers in the will of Michael Esh, Junior, in 1812 are filed in a claim in 1819 by a Balthasar Heiny on behalf of his LATE wife Catherine, since she was the widow of Michael Esch, Jr. There is little doubt in my mind that this Catherine is the same Catherina Lauffer mentioned in Michael Esh, Jrs will, and whoever made the listing on RootsWeb must have had the date of her death incorrect (BUT SEE UPDATE BELOW), as well as switching around her second husbands name. On April 28, 2004, I went to the cemetery of Christ UCC (Little Moore or Dieters Church Cemetery]. There I found the adjoining tombstones of a Catherina Heiny and Balthazar Heiny. I am still in the process of translating the German inscriptions on these grave markers. So far, I have the following:
