Bartholomäus Gansmann/Gonsamn #191 (1812-1889) Descendants Ancestors Tombstone Wife: Katharina Maus/Moss #495 (1814-1892) Descendants Ancestors Tombstone
From Bauer's book: "Die Familie ist nach Amerika" The last child born in Biblis was Franz,
born 23 Sep 1837.
Notes from Pat Gonsman: Bart and Catharine settled in East Freedom, PA (south of Altoona)
in the 1840's. Bart is in the 1850 and 1860 censuses as an ore burner. They're also in
the 1870 and 1880 censuses. As often happens, there are age discrepancies in the censuses.
He was naturalized 25 Sep 1847. Bart's Port of Entry is unknown.(NY?) No pictures of Bart
and Catharine are known to exist, but we do have tombstone pictures. Bart and Catharine
are buried in St. Patrick's Cemetery at Newry, PA. A stone nearby is marked 'Child'.
Allegedly, Catherine had a daughter die on the ship to America, just outside New York.
Bart and Catharine asked that they be allowed to keep the body so that it could be buried
on land. The 'child' is allegedly the girl that died aboard ship.
LFK Notes: The story line of this couple will probably yield more information and anecdotes
of great interest. As a typical family historian, Pat will probably not rest until the entire
story is solved! Thanks Pat.
