ANCESTRY OF THOMAS JEFFERSON HETER





   Children of Johannes Adam Hieter and Maria Roth:

   Adam Hieter:  Born 23 September 1791; Married Catherine Frees (sister of
   Salome Frees).  Probably died before 1830, as he is not listed in census.

   Johannes (John) Hieter IV:  Born 11 January 1794, Berks County,
   Pennsylvania; Married Salome Frees, 15 October 1814; Died 28 October 1881,
   Bellevue, Sandusky, Ohio.

   Anna Magdalena Hieter:  Born 7 June 1797, Berks County, Pennsylvania;
   Married John Folk, c. 1817; Died 19 May 1859, Decatur Township,
   Mifflin, Pennsylvania.

   Elizabeth or Maria Hieter:  Born 18 August 1801, Union County,
   Pennsylvania; Married Jonathan Romig, c. 1823; Died 10 May 1872,
   West Beaver Township, Snyder, Pennsylvania.

   Eva Barbara Hieter:  Born 24 March 1804, Union County, Pennsylvania;
   Married John Ulsh, c. 1829; Died 6 March 1879, Snyder County,
   Pennsylvania.

   Jacob Heeter or Hieter:  Born 16 March 1806, Union County, Pennsylvania;
   Married Sarah Gerhart, c. 1826; Died 23 March 1864, Snyder County,
   Pennsylvania.

   Catharine Hieter:  Born 22 August 1809, Union County, Pennsylvania;
   Married Henry Ritter, c. 1830; Died 20 October 1889, West Beaver Township,
   Snyder County, Pennsylvania.

   Margaret Rebecca Hieter:  Born 13 September 1814, Union County,
   Pennsylvania; Married Henry Ulsh, c. 1834; Died 30 July 1894, West
   Beaver Township, Snyder, Pennsylvania.


Census records show that Adam Hieter was living in Berks County in 1800, with
two children, a boy and a girl, both under 10 years of age.  These would be
John Hieter (born 3 June 1794) and Anna Magdalena Hieter (born 7 June 1797).
Therefore the first two children, at least, were born in Berks County.  I find
no record of him in the 1810 census, as Johannes, John, or Adam Hieter, by any
spelling of the surname.  But in the 1820 census he does appear in Beaver,
Union County, Pennsylvania, as John Hüter or Heiter, Sr., with a wife and five
children: two girls aged 16 to 25, one boy aged 10 to 15, one girl aged 10 to
15, and one girl under ten years of age.  These would be Elizabeth (born
18 August 1801), Eva Barbara (born 24 March 1804), Jacob (born 16 March 1806),
Catharine (born 22 August 1809), and Margaret Rebecca (born 13 September 1814).
