1. FHL Typescript 975.287/F1 K2wf v.1 "Frederick Evangelical Lutheran Church, Frederick, Maryland. Parish Records, Books I and II, 1743-1811," entries with mentions of Maria Barbara Roemer:
- Matthia Kint and his wife Eva Cath., a dau. Maria Barbara, b. 12 Apr 1758, bp. 1758 Jubilate, sponsors: Maria Barbara, Michael Römer's daughter and Adam Mantel, single. [Kerry's note: bp. Apr 16.]
- Mich. Stocker and wife Anna Barb., a dau. Anna Barba., b. 1 Apr 1858, bp. 1758 Pentecost, sponsors: Maria Barbara, single daughter of Mich. Römer. [Kerry's note: bp. May 15.]
2. Two Roemerin women, Marie Barbara and simply Barbara are mentioned as sponsors in the birth/confirmation of Michael and Anna Barbara Stoker's first twin daughters. I cannot yet determine whether "Barbara" is actually the mother Anna Barbara or the other Marie Barbara. We can definitively determine Maria Barbara as a separate individual. The fact that the Romerins were involved in these events would lead us to a strong guess that Michael Stoker's wife was a Romerin. I assume her birth by presuming an age of at least 21 to be considered a sponsor in the Church record.
See the following in the FHL Book 929.273EL54h "George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America," compiled by James W. Hook, 1957, also on FHL film 896571, item 2, pp. 88-97: "Michael Stoker, doubtless, was the son of Michael Stoker (Stocker) who settled in Frederick Co., Md. about the middle of the 18th century. No other family of the Stoker (Stocker) name was found by this writer in any of the early Frederick Co. records. The 18th century translated records of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Frederick, Md. established about 1746, show many Michael Stoker (Stocker) entries beginning with the birth, on 1 Apr 1758, of Anna Barbara, daughter of 'Mich. Stocker' and his wife 'Ana Barb.' On p. 552 of a copy of these church records, now in possession of the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore, Maryland, will be found a recording of eight children of Michael Stocker, the youngest named George, born 13 Nov 1781. The first of these children was named Marie Barbara, born 1 Apr 1758. She doubtless was the same as or the twin of another daughter named Anna Barbara mentioned above as having been born on the same date. Another record shows, again, the birth of Marie Barbara, daughter of Michael Stocker born 1 Apr 1758; baptized 15 May 1758. Thus the church records contain three separate entries of the birth on 1 April 1758, of a daughter to Michael Stoker (Stocker) as follows:
a. 'On 1 Apr. 1758 to Mich. Stocker et uxori Ana Barbara a daughter Anna Barbara. Witnesses (to baptism) Marie Barbara filia coelebs Michael Roemers.' [Filia Coelebs means unmarried daughter of.]
b. '1758, 1 April to Michael Stoker a daughter Marie Barbara, sponsored by Barbara Romerin, baptized 15 May 1758.'
c. '1758, 1 April to Michael Stocker a daughter Marie Barbara, sponsored by Barbara Romerin, baptized 15 May 1758.'
3. The book "History of Carrollton Manor, Frederick County, Maryland," by William Jarboe Grove, Lime Kiln, Maryland, 1928, copy in Frederick Historical Society, Frederick, Maryland, p. 383, provides significant information about Michael Römer (with variant spellings of Raymer, Romer Remer, and Reymer) by giving us his will, the name of an additional wife, some of his deeds, his civic and military service, his immigration, some of the spouses of his children, and three of his grandchildren. Michael's obituary reports he had six daughters and two sons of which both sons, three daughters, and their mother had preceded him in death; however, the will only provides us with the names of four daughters -- one of whom, Maria Barbara, had predeceased him. He does not mention the other names of his deceased children nor their children even though his obituary says he had 37 grandchildren. Additionally he makes no reference to a second wife, Catherine Kemp, who may have also predeceased him. The quote:
"44 - Michael Raymer who loaned $1,630 was on the committee of observation and attended a meeting held at the court house Jan. 24th, 1775 and was active in the cause of independence, born 1715 died Nov. 25th, 1800, aged 85 years, 2 months, is buried in the Lutheran graveyard. His will was made Sep. 11, 1794. Signed Michael Romer. He divided his estate real and personal in four parts to his daughters, Magdalona, wife of Henry Foutz, Elizabeth, wife of James Beatty, Christona, wife of Mathias Buckey and to the children of his deceased daughter, Barbara Hass, namely, Michael Hass, Christiana, wife of George Buckey and Frederick Hass, the remaining fourth part of my estate real and personal. Tradition says Michael Raymer married Catherine Kemp, who landed in Philadelphia with her father, Conrad Kemp August 17th, 1733 and is of the well known Kemp family of the County. In connection with Michael Remer (1715-1800), in a list of foreigners 252 Palatines imported in the ship "Winter Gallery" and qualified Sep. 5, 1738 at Philadelphia there appears the name John Michael Romer (also Remer) aged 23, which age corresponds with the year of birth 1715. 'The Meadow' first granted by Lord Baltimore to John Van Meter and subsequently resurveyed Nov. 2nd, 1755, was patented June 9th, 1756 to Michael Raymer, over which he had a dispute with Daniel Dulaney who laid out Frederick in 1745 and owned Locust Level containing 3,800 acres and Taskers Chance containing 7,700 acres both of these tracts adjoined 'The Meadows.' Dulaney was a Tory, and his land was confiscated, after some litigation the title to the land was awarded to Mr. Raymer. Michael Raymer was very active during the Revolutionary period, and held a commisision in the Patriot army. Mr. Raymer deeded this land to Richard Potts in 1792. Mr. Reymer gave the land for the Lutheran Church at Church Hill north of Frederick."
