4) NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):
Maria Margaretha Stuber was christened on 30 November 1702 in the Reformed Church in Herren-Suzlbach in the Rhineland Palatinate, the daughter of Johann Jacob and Anna Catherina (Mann) Stuber[2]. Johann Jacob and Anna Catharina Stuber had several children in Herren-Suzbach, and several in Edenkoben in the Rhineland Palatinate.
Maria Margaretha married Johann Nicolaus Konig, as his second wife, on 19 June 1735 in Edenkoben, Rhineland Palatinate[1,3-4]. They had at least four children, all born in the Palatinate[1]:
* Anna Elisabetha Konig (1737-1773), married Johann Martin Cronemiller (1737-1770) on 20 June 1756 in Lancaster.
* Philip Jacob Konig (1738-1792), married 1 April 1763 Maria Barbara Wilhelm (1740-1779) in Lancaster.
* Johann Wilhelm Konig (1745-????)
* Maria Barbara Konig (1750-????), married about 1770 to Adam Wilhelm (1742-1824).
The Konig's were of the Reformed faith, and the date of their departure from the Palatinate of the Rhine corresponds to the period of heavy emigration by Reformed and Lutheran adherents from the Palatinate. The Palatinate had been a beautiful, fertile, vineyard-clad land, located between Speyer in the south and Cologne in the north. It was caught in the crossfire of the recurring wars instigated by France's Louis XIV. The countryside was ravaged, the crops and villages burned, the peasants persecuted. Homeless Palatines died of starvation and exposure. There were three different faiths in the region - Reformed, Lutheran and Roman Catholic, and the ruler of the moment tried to impose his religious beliefs on everybody, resulting in persecution for those out of favor. Under these circumstances, Johann Nicolaus and Maria Margaretha (Stuber) Konig and their children emigrated to America in the wake of thousands of his countrymen[1].
In 1752, the Konig family left the Palatinate by boat, sailing down the Rhine to Rotterdam in Holland. The family boarded the ship Ketty along with about 200 other German immigrants. The ship, captained by Theophilus Barnes, sailed to Portsmouth in England to obtain clearance papers to sail to America. They sailed to Philadelphia, arriving in mid-October 1752. The passengers took the oath of allegiance to King of England on October 16, 1752 at the Court House in Philadelphia[1].
The Konig family on the passenger list for the ship 'Ketty" included:
Johann Nicolaus König, 45
Maria Margaretha (Stuber)
Gottfried, 24
Johann Peter, 21
Anna Elisabeth, 15
Philipp Jacob, 13
Johann Wilhelm, 7
Maria Barbara, 2
The list noted that they went to Chester County.
Between 1752 and 1760, the family's whereabouts is not known. Two of the Konig's children married a Wilhelm, children of Jacob Wilhelm of Lancaster County. It is possible they were in Lancaster County, or in Berks County. The earliest record of Nicholas Konig in York, Pennsylvania is 1760, when he purchased a 200 acre tract of land in Manchester township, on the north side of the Codorus River, for 600 pounds. There he and his sons built a primitive home, a barn, cleared and planted the fields[1].
Between 1764 and 1771, Maria Margaretha (Stuber) Konig died, because Nicholas Konig married his third wife in December 1771[1]. There are no known death or burial records for Maria Margaretha (Stuber) Konig.

Randy, I have Konig/Koenig they settled in Northampton County, Pennsylvania
Hi Randy. I didn't realize you had Palatine German ancestry. Stufflebeans are all Palatines, too.
