FAUST FAMILY TREE
A Faustian Theory of Relativity, so to speak...
genealogy of our family lines. If you think you might be related, please let us know!!!
We like nothing better than
meeting and exchanging information with new cousins. Reconnecting with cousins we've been
out of touch with is pretty neat, too. Note: If any living relative of ours finds your name on this site and has
any objection, please just let us know. Doug and
Diana Faust
 Hans Faust
Hans Faust was born in 1611 in
Wolferborn, Germany and died 2 January 1679/80 in Langenselbold
Isenburg, Hessen,
Germany. He was the son of Johann Faust (1580-1639) and grandson of Hans
Faust (1550-1609).
Hans was married twice.
He married first Elizabeth Fischer on 2 March 1639/40 in
Langenselbold, Hessen, Germany. She was born 6 January 1619/20, the daughter of Anton
Fischer (b. abt. 1598 Langenselbold, Hessen, Germany, son of Balthasar Fischer) and Elizabeth
Scherer (b. 20 May 1589 Langenselbold, Hessen, Germany, daughter
of Peter Scherer and Ursula Bresch). Hans and Elizabeth Fischer had six children
that I know of: Maria Elizabeth, Werner, Johann, Giel
Julienne, Andreas, and Hans Faust II. For further
information on these children and their
spouses, see the program-generated genealogies (GedHTree, Family
Origins, and Progenitor) referenced above. It is
their third child, Johann Faust who was born in 1642, that
this genealogy follows. Elizabeth Fischer died in 1652 in
Langenselbold, Hessen, Germany, at the age of 33.
He
married 2nd Kunigunda Gaul and they had six children that I know of, including a son, Johann
Georg Faust who was born in Langenselbold, Hessen, Germany and
christened 23
January 1666.26 This son traveled to America on the same
ship, Elizabeth, that Johan Peter Faust arrive on at the Port of
Philadelphia, 27 August 1733.
Johann Faust
Johann Faust was born in March or
April 1642/43 in Langenselbold, Hessen, Germany. He married Kunigunda
Mohn on 4 January 1666/67 in Langenselbold, Hessen, Germany. She was born 7 May 1646, the
daughter of Hans Mohn and Anna Wilhelm. She died 29 October 1721.
Johann and Kunigunda had 11 children, the youngest of whom was Johann Peter
Faust, our direct ancestor.
Johann died before 4 September
1694 in Langenselbold. He
lived in Wolferborn, Hessen.
JOHANN PETER FAUST
Johann Peter Faust was born
22 December 1689 in Langenselbold, Hessen, Germany. He died in
November 1745 in Exeter Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. He married
twice; first to Magdalena Adam on 5 January 1711 (or 1712/13) in Langenselbold
Reformed KB. She was the daughter of Philip Adam and Anna Hix and she was
born 24 March 1692, according to church records. They had one child,
Philip Lebs Faust.
By 1717, we know, again according to church records,
that Johann was a widower and married Anna Elisabeth Grauel, his second wife, on 14 January
1717 in Langenselbold Reformed KB, Langenselbold, Germany. Anna
was the
daughter of Johannes Grauel and Helena Dieterich. They had six,
possibly seven
children together: Michael, Johann (John), Johannes, John C. Peter, Anna
Elizabeth, Magdalena, Johann Heinrich.
Johann (John) and Johannes may
be the same person. He married Anna Albright
[Albrecht] (born about 1719) in Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania, in 1742. They had nine known children
together: Philip Faust (b. 1742, d. 1804), John Faust (b.
1744), Jacob Faust (b. 1749, d. 1796), Christian Faust (b. 1750,
d. 1823), Barbara Faust (b. 1752), Judith Faust (b. 1754, d.
1823), George Faust (b. 1746, d. 1778), Peter Faust (b. 1759, d.
1808), and Daniel Faust (b. 1762, d. 1826). Their
daughter Barbara married Jacob Clapp; they had a daughter Anna
Catherine Clapp. Anna Catherine Clapp married a Neese, and
they had a son Soloman Neese. Soloman Neese had a son
James Alvan Neese who had a daughter Malinda Lou Neese.
Malinda Neese married a Starr and had a son Lacy Monroe Starr;
he had a daughter Aylease Holt Starr who married a Bowman.
Aylease Starr had a son Jerry Homer Bowman who had a daughter
Toni Michele Bowman.22
Johann Peter Faust arrived in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 27 August 1733 aboard the ship Elizabeth,
which sailed from Rotterday. The ship master was Edward
Lee and all the immigrants aboard were from the Palatinate,
Germany. Johann took his oath of allegiance the same day
as his arrival, 25 August 1733.18
PHILIP LEBS FAUST
Philip Lebs Faust was born 22 February
1713/14 in Langenselbold, Hessen, Germany, the son of Johann Peter Faust and his
first wife Magdalena Adam. He died 19 April 1786 in Bern Township, Berks
County, Pennsylvania. He married Magdalena Albright (sometimes spelled Albrecht)
in 1736 in
Berks/Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Johannes
Ludwig Albrecht von Oberenstringer (born 1694 in Wyniger,
Switzerland) and Anna Barbara Gossauer
