Ahnentafel #869 & #873 - Anna Margaretha (--?--)

Anna Margaretha (--?--)

Some say she was Anna Margaret Geiger

Born: ca. 1715
Died: after 1814

Buried: probably at St. Michael's Lutheran Church, Germantown, Bucks Co., Pennsylvania where her two husbands were buried. 

Married:
1) Jacob Anthony Hinkle ca. 1730 
2) Martin Grove ca. 1752 Philadelphia, PA

Records:
1739-1748 - Anna Margaretha's husband Jacob Hinkle ran an inn on Germantown Road in Bucks Co., Pennsylvania.  I suspect that Jacob was the owner and that Anna probably did a lot of the day to
day work.
