Much of the information on the Johann Leonhard and Maria Margaretha (--?--) Nachbar family was obtained from:
* The book, More Palatine Families, by Henry Z. Jones, published in 1991[1].
* The book, Early Germans of New Jersey, by Chambers[2].
* The book, Descendants of Leonhard Neighbour, Immigrant to America, 1738, by Lambert Bowman Neighbour, published in 1906[3].
Maria Margaretha --?-- was born in about June 1698, probably in Rheinland Pfalz[3-4]. Her parents are not known. Some online family trees say that her parents were Joseph Marble and Mary Faulkner.
She married Johann Leonhard Nachbar in about 1720 in Rheinland-Pfalz, and they had four children (the first three born in Rheinland-Pfalz, the last in New Jersey)[1-2]:
* Anna Margaretha Nachbar (1722-1765), married Henrich Schenckel (1721-1769) in about 1749.
* Anna Martha Nachbar (1724-1770), married Matthias Trimmer (1722-1793) in about 1742.
* Maria Elisabetha Nachbar (1728-1766), married Johann Wilhelm Welsch (1719-1805) in about 1747.
* Leonhard Nachbar (1741-1806), married Louisa Elisabeth Wise (1744-1807) in about 1760.
The Leonhard Nachbar family came to America on the ship "Robert and Alice," arriving in Philadelphia in 1738 with other families who settled in the German Valley of Morris County, New Jersey[1-3].
Leonhard Nochber died in August 1766, and his will, dated 10 January 1765, bequeathed all of his estate to his wife, Margreata[5]. After her death, the lands were to pass to their son, Leonhard.
Maria Margaretha Nachber died 17 November 1770 in Long Valley, and was buried at the Old Stone Union Church Cemetery there[4]. The gravestone inscription says:
"Here lies the body of
Maria Margareta the wife
of Leanhard Nachber
who departed this life
November the 17th
1770 AD aged 72
years and 5 months"
