Notes for Joseph Hosler

1799 Joseph Hasler, son of Abraham and Christina Hasler, was born on August 31. Joseph was baptized with sponsors George and Scharlota Gerbrich at Fissel's Jerusalem Union Church, Shrewsbury Twp, York County, Pennsylvania. [1]

1804 Joseph Hassler was not named as a minor orphan when his father died. We suspect that he had died by that time.

1804 Christina Hassler, widow of Abraham Hassler deceased, applied to appoint Dewalt Schneider guardian over the persons and estates of Christina, Hassler (age 12), George Hassler (age 10), Catharina Hassler (age 8), and John Hassler (age 9), all minor children of the deceased. Elizabeth Hassler (age 16) prayed that Dewalt Schneider be named her guardian. The court agreed. Dated June 26. [2]

Research Notes:

Other researchers also name William Hosler (May 7, 1799-January 31, 1871) as a son of Abraham Hosler and Christina Bortner. He may have been baptized on 17 May 1799 at Swamp Reformed (Little Cocalico) Church, West Cocalico Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. These two reported sons are born too close together to be possible. We do not know which, if either is correct.
