Elias Horning and Esther Weyerman

Elias was born in 1761  to George Ludwig Horning and Catherine Keyser.  We don't have an exact birthdate for him, but all listings of the children show him as being born in 1761, so until we know better, that's it.

Elias married Esther Weyerman on November 7,1784, in Montgomery, Pennyslvania.  They had 10 children.  I have no birthdate for Esther either.

The children are listed as

Samuel
Jacob ~ born 1785
John ~ born 1787
Joseph ~ born 1791
Elias ~ born 1792
William ~ born 1793

a daughter ~ born in 1795 ( usually when they are listed as "daughter" or "son" they were either still born or did not live more than a few hours.

Catherine ~ born 1795 died ~ 1796
Eliza ~ born 1798
and our Harriet ~ born May 26,1799
