Blum writes on the Romig family Added by alan_vibber on 5 Nov 2008 Originally submitted by susasoul to Wilcox and allied Families on 5 Aug 2008 Dorothy J. Blum dblum@erols.com with the 1812 Project wrote16 February 1999 in an e-mail Catherine, Yes many of the Romigs were Lutheran when they first arrived and then became Moravian. Johh Fredeick Romig I, the father of Jacob Romeo Romig, "was a faithful member of the Moravian Congregation at Emaus. He was the cofidential advisor for many of the early settlers and frequently acted as guardian for orphans, among whom was George Zeisloff, whose family had been massacred by the Indians." (Genealogical and Biographical History of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, Vol.3 P.1069 "Mr. (John Frederick) Romig became a member of Moravian Congregation at Emaus (PA) in 1764 and was admitted to communionfor the first time in 1766." (Ibid)"Catherine Siegfried was baptized by the Moravian pastor in Lynn, 31 March 1755 and was admitted to communion for the first time 1764." (Ibid, Pp 1068-1074 "Frederick became a member of the Moravian congregation at Emmaus Nov 13, 1764 and was admitted to the communion for the first time June 21, 1766 (Joan Romig Reed) I may have a mistake, but I found that in my database, I have Catherine Dreher married to Jacob Romeo Romig's brother, John Frederick II as the 2nd wife, after marring a Miss Knauss, is this wrong? Could it be that she married one and then when he died, she married her deceased husband's brother, which was often done? My reference for the marriage of Catherine Dreher to John Frederick II Romig bef 1794 is the book, Geneal. & Biog. Hist. of Lehigh Co Pp 1068-1074. Of course, this reference could also be wrong. I received a lot of information from Joan Romig Reed. Her e-mail is JOANRREED@aol.com She is very knowledgeable about the Romig family and last summer she and her father, a Romig, went to PA which was her father's birthplace. They saw the place where the Siegfried family had their farm, and they found many places that were the homes and farms, and cemteries of the Romigs and the Siegfrieds. Youmay want to contact her. I know she would be delighted in meeting another Romig descendant. Please, let me know more about your family. I am descended from Susannah Romig, who married William Eugene Krause in Nebraska. Susannah, her sister, Mary, and her mother and father moved to Cuming Co NE from PA. Susannah was my great grandmother and I have her Haviland china that she bought when she was one of the first school teacher's in the area. Perhaps by working together, you, Joan and I can get more information about the Romig Family. I will be glad to share anything that I have. Dorothy J.
