In my last post, I wrote about finding an 1839 Dutchess County, New York court case, Cookingham v. Dedrick et al., that identified four generations of the Marquart family. Here are the profiles of the second generation, the children of Johannes and Susanna Margaretha Marquart. Sources include facts taken from this case together with traditional genealogical research:
George Marquart 1757-1839
Jacob Marquart 1761-
Agnes (Marquart) Cookingham 1765-1824
Gertrude (Marquart) Traver 1767-1845
David Marquart 1769-
Margaret (Marquart) Dedrick 1771-1851
Johannes Marquart Jr. 1773-1838
Frederick Marquart 1775-1832
Hanna (Marquart) Rook 1780-1812
I will add links to each person's WikiTree profile as they are created.
GEORGE MARQUART. When the original case was filed on 20 April 1839, George was listed as a living brother of Frederick Marquart, deceased. However, news of his death must have been received after the suit was filed because the final report of the Master in Chancery noted George’s date of death and identified his widow, Anna, and living heirs-at-law as parties to this case.1 George’s heirs divided his equal 1/7th share in the sale of the lands in question.2
George may have been born on 26 October 1757,3 possibly in Rhinebeck, Dutchess County, New York. No baptismal records have yet been located for him. He married ANNA PULTZ on 23 April 1782 at the Dutch Reformed Church at the Flats, Rhinebeck.4 Anna was the daughter of Michael Pultz and his wife Margaret Dedrick, baptized in 1761 at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church, Rhinebeck, sponsors Michel Bolz and Anna.5 6 As a resident of Clinton, Dutchess County, George wrote a will on 12 April 1838 and signed by mark.7 In it, he provided for his widow Anna and children William H., John G., and Barbara Pultz, as well as the widow and four children of his deceased son, David. All were included in the settlement of the 1839 lawsuit to distribute the lands of George’s brother, Frederick. George died on 7 April 18398 and was buried in the cemetery of St. Paul’s Wurtemburg church in Rhinebeck.9 His will was probated in Dutchess County on 13 June 1839.10 Anna (Pultz) Marquart died on 16 February 1841 and was buried with her husband in St. Paul’s Wurtemburg cemetery.11
BARBARA MARQUART, wife of JOHN PULTZ was identified as the deceased sister of Frederick Marquart in the original bill of complaint, dated 23 April 1839. She left heirs, identified in the report of the Master in Chancery, who divided her equal 1/7th share in the sale of the lands in question.12
No baptismal record has yet been found for Barbara, but she was probably born around 1758,13 possibly in Rhinebeck. She married John Pultz on 18 October 1779 in the Dutch Reformed Church at the Flats, Rhinebeck.14 John was the son of Johan Michael Pulz and his wife Barbara Kuckenhann, baptized 18 May 1755 at the Dutch Reformed Church of Rhinebeck, sponsors Joh. Georg Kuckenham and Margaretha Weger.15 John died on 30 January 1827 and Barbara died on 5 December 1828; they were both buried in the cemetery at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church in Rhinebeck.16
JACOB MARQUART was born on 2 October 1761 to Johannes “Marckwarth” and wife Margaretha, and was baptized that year at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church. His sponsors were Eberhard Weger and wife Catharina.17 Neither Jacob nor any heirs were parties to this lawsuit, so he was almost certainly deceased without issue before 1839.
ELIZABETH MARQUART and her husband FREDERICK COOKINGHAM, residents of Rhinebeck, were the plaintiffs in this suit, which they filed in order to equitably distribute the lands of Elizabeth’s deceased brothers. In their bill of complaint, they identified all the siblings who were entitled to inherit from Frederick Marquart and John Marquart Jr.18 They later filed an amended bill of complaint to account for those heirs who had died since the original bill was filed.19 Elizabeth and Frederick received an equal 1/7th share in the sale of the lands in question.20 They had children, who were not included here as they did not receive distributions in the settlement of this case.
Elisabeth, daughter of “Hanes Marckward” and Margaretha was baptized on 20 December 1763 at St. Peter’s Lutheran church in Rhinebeck, sponsors Michel Boltz and Anna Barbara.21 She married Frederick Cookingham in Rhinebeck on 9 October 1781.22 Frederick was born, probably in Rhinebeck, on 27 November 1758 to Daniel Cookingham and Anna Maria Traver.23 24 Elizabeth died on 17 April 184025 and was buried in the churchyard at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church in Rhinebeck on 18 April 1840. The pastor noted in his burial register that she was “a good and pious woman.”26 Frederick died on 10 January 1846 and was also buried in the Wurtemburg Church cemetery.27
AGNES MARQUART, wife of MICHAEL COOKINGHAM was identified in Cookingham v. Margaret Diedrick, et. al. as a deceased sister of Frederick and John Marquart, Jr. Her descendants divided Agnes’ 1/7th share in her brothers’ land.28
Maria Agnes Marquart was born on 1 November 1765 and was baptized on 11 November that year at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Wurtemburg in Rhinebeck. Her baptismal sponsors were Jeorg Adam Escher and Maria Agnes.29 Agnes married Michael Cookingham in Dutchess County on 18 May 1784.30 Michael was the son of Daniel Cookingham and his wife Anna Maria Traver, born on 2 July 175731 and baptized in August of that year at the Dutch Reformed Church in Red Hook, Dutchess County.32 He was also the brother of Frederick Cookingham, the husband of Elizabeth (Marquart) Cookingham. Agnes died on 2 March 1824 and was buried in the cemetery at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church in Rhinebeck.33 Soon after her death, on 19 April 1824, Michael married Elizabeth Ackert, the widow of Henry Nichol.34 Elizabeth was born on 20 November 1786.35 Michael wrote his will on 8 May 1833, leaving bequests to his wife Betsy, sons Philip, Daniel, and Jonas, daughter Gertrude, wife of Timothy Crapser, grandsons Michael, son of Philip, and Michael, son of Timothy Crapser. He also left legacies for his wife’s granddaughter, Betsy Traver, daughter of Harvey Traver and to Jonas Cookingham Jr., son of Anne Nichol.36 37 Michael died on 6 November 1840 and was buried in the Wurtemburg cemetery.38 His will was proved in Dutchess County on 1 December 1840.39
GERTRUDE MARQUART, "Gertrude Ring," was identified as a sister of Frederick and John Jr. in Cookingham v. Margaret Diedrick, et. al. As no husband was mentioned for her in that case and her surname was not the same as her brothers’, she must have been a widow when the suit was filed in April of 1839. By 5 October 1839, an amended bill of complaint showed that she had become the wife of David Traver of Clinton, Dutchess County.40 41 She received an equal 1/7th share in her brothers’ estate.42
“Gerthraut” was born on 27 November 1767 to “Hannes Marquardt and Margretha.” She was baptized on 26 December 1767 at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church in Rhinebeck, with baptismal sponsors George Bennet and wife.43 On 27 March 1787, Gertrude married ANDREAS DEDRICK at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Rhinebeck.44 Andreas was born on 20 November 1766,45 the son of Christian Dedrick and his wife Sophina Reisseler. He was baptized at the Dutch Reformed Church in Red Hook on 30 November 1766.46 Gertrude and Andrew were baptismal sponsors in 1797 for Gertraut Cookingham, the daughter of Gertrude’s sister Agnes Marquart and her husband Michael Cookingham.47 Andreas died on 27 April 1813 and was buried in the Wurtemburg cemetery.48 Soon afterwards, Gertrude Dederick sold land to her daughter and son-in-law, Jacob and Ann Lambert, acting as mortgagee, financing the transfer of her late husband's land.49
As her second husband, Gertrude married JOHN RING, the father-in-law of her niece, Margaret (Pultz) Ring.50 John was born on 4 May 1754, probably in Dutchess County.51 They were married on 17 August 1817 at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church.52 John died on 12 August 1825 and was buried in the cemetery at St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Rhinebeck.53 In his will, written on 4 July 1825, John stipulated that his wife Gertrude was not entitled to dower in his property according to an agreement they had made prior to their marriage.54 55
As Mrs. Gertrude Ring of Rhinebeck, she was married for the third time on 27 October 1833, to DAVID TRAVER of Clinton, Dutchess County. The marriage took place at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church; Gertrude’s grandson, Andrew G. Lambert, and his wife Eliza Maria witnessed the ceremony.56 David Traver was born about 25 December 1762,57 probably in Dutchess County, the son of David Traver.58 He married first, Maria, daughter of Johannes Killmer on 21 October 1787 at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church in Rhinebeck.59 Maria may have been the “Mrs. Traver” in the Wurtemburg church register who died on 28 March 1830.60 Gertrude died on 12 August 1845, in her 78th year.61 Her tombstone identified her as “Gertrude, the wife of Andrew Dedrick.”62 Her husband David Traver died on 14 March 185163 and his will was probated in Dutchess County on 16 May 1851.64
DAVID MARQUART was born on 28 September 1769 to Hans “Marqwardt” and wife Margaretha. He was baptized on 1 October 1769 at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church. His sponsors were Joerg Boltz and Anna Maria.65 Neither David nor any heirs were parties to this lawsuit, so he was almost certainly deceased without issue before 1839.
MARGARET MARQUART, wife of WILLIAM DEDRICK, was identified as a sister of Frederick and John Marquart Jr. in the original bill of complaint. In the final report it was noted that her husband had died before the death of John Marquart Jr.66 As the widow of William Dedrick, Margaret received an equal 1/7th share of her brothers’ estate.67
Margreth, daughter of “Johannes Marquardt and Margreth,” was born on 22 August 1771 and baptized sometime that year at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Wurtemburg in Rhinebeck. Her sponsors were Johannes Krebser and Catrina.68 “Margareda Marquard” married William Dedrick at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church, Rhinebeck, in 1790.69 William, son of “Christian Diderich and Sophia Reisseler,” was born on 9 November 176970 and was baptized that year at the Dutch Reformed church of Reyn Beek.71 William was also the brother of Andrew Dederick, the first husband of Margaret’s sister Gertrude (Marquart) Dederick. William died on 16 May 1835 and was buried in the cemetery at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church.72 Margaret did not remarry. She died on 1 April 1851 and was buried in the St. Paul’s Wurtemburg cemetery.73 Margaret and William had children who were not parties to the lawsuit and so are not included in this summary.
JOHANNES MARQUART Jr. was one of the parties at the center of this case. He owned land together with his brother, Frederick Marquart. After both he and Frederick died intestate and without issue, the courts were asked to divide the land among their collateral heirs.74
Johannes, the son of “Johannes Marckward and Margaretha” was born on 29 November 1773 and baptized that year at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Rhinebeck. His baptismal sponsors were Johannes Boltz and Barbara Boltzin.75 John died on 31 October 183876 and was buried on 1 November at the St. Paul’s Wurtemburg cemetery, the pastor noting that he was a bachelor and had died at age 60 of “apoplexy.”77
FREDERICK MARQUART was the primary party at the center of this case. He owned land together with his brother, John Marquart. After the two died intestate and without issue, the courts were asked to divide the land among their collateral heirs.78 His accidental death was the subject of a criminal trial.79
Friedrich, son of Johannes Marquart and Margaretha, was born on 17 September 1775 and baptized on 21 September that year at St. Paul’s Church, Wurtemburg in Rhinebeck. His baptismal sponsors were David Boltz and Maria Dippelein.80 He was killed on 12 August 1832 as he was leaving services at the Wurtemburg Church in Rhinebeck. Around 5 p.m. that day, Frederick Sleight, Jr. and Rensellaer [sic] Wilbur were racing their horses on the public highway when they ran over and trampled Frederick Marquart. Witnesses stated that Marquart was plainly visible, but the men were reckless and paid no attention.81 Frederick was buried at the Wurtemburg Church on 14 August 1832, the pastor noting that he was killed on his way home from church by Wilbur and Sleight “running a horse,” calling it “a wicked act.”82
HANNAH MARQUART, wife of CHRISTIAN ROOK was identified as the sister of Frederick and John Marquart Jr. Both she and her husband were deceased in 1839 when this case was underway. They left just one child, Rosetta, who inherited Hannah’s entire 1/7th share in her brothers’ estate.83
“Anna,” daughter of Johannes Marquart and his wife Margaretha, was born 15 December 1779. She was baptized on 23 January 1780 at St. Paul’s Wurtemburg Church in Rhinebeck. Her sponsors were George Marquart and his wife, Anna.84 She married Christian “Ruck” on 15 May 1800 at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Rhinebeck.85 The Poughkeepsie Journal reported the marriage, adding that the groom was from New York [city].86
Christian Rook was born about 1757,87 likely in present-day Germany. He was probably the Christian Rook who baptized a son George with wife Eleanor at New York’s Trinity Church on 3 September 1789.88 He was living on Chatham Street in Manhattan as early as 178989 and was naturalized in New York City on 17 July 1793, identified as a carpenter.90 His wife Eleanor died sometime after 2 March 1796, when the couple mortgaged property in New York City.91 In 1797, Christian was elected a member of the German Society, a benevolent organization dedicated to assisting German emigrants to the United States and providing relief to poor Germans.92 In 1806, his name came before the New York city common council in a petition to be named “Carpenter to the Public,” but it was tabled and no further action was taken.93
Hannah and Christian lived in New York City until her death in 1812; Christian moved to Dutchess County after 1814.94 Their daughter Rosetta, born about 1801, was a beneficiary of the 1839 lawsuit and was their only child still living at that time. Christian and Hannah were also the parents of at least two other daughters born in New York95 and possibly a son.96 Hannah died on 15 November 1812 and was buried in the Wurtemburg church cemetery.97 Christian died on 15 August 1834 and was buried with his wife.98 Neither left a will in either New York City or Dutchess County.
