Conrad Family
Conrad Family
Christian Conrad came to NC in 1769 and settled on the land his father had purchased the preceding year. Maria Boeckel was originally listed on this page as Boeke. We now think she may be a Boeckel - but who were her parents? And were there other children in this family?
We are not entirely sure that John and Peter Conrad are their sons, but they fit nicely into the sequence of children. Also, Peter named a son Christian.
----------
Children of Johannes Conrad and Catharina Romig
John Conrad (1778-1850) m. 1) Elizabeth Miller (1782-1837), 2) Mrs. Margaret Grimes (abt. 1806-?)
was she the Margaret Harris who married Benjamin Grimes in 1825?
Anna Elisabeth Conrad (1780-1781)
Jacob Conrad (1782-1839). Did he marry Catharina Krause in 1809? and/or Catharina Krieger?
Abraham Conrad (1784-1869) m. Phillipina Christina Loesch (1788-1847)
Isaac Conrad (1790-1832) m. Charity Wolff (1804-1857)
----------
Children of Johann Jacob Conrad and Catharina Weybrecht
Johann Conrad
Jacob Conrad (1779-?)
Daniel Conrad (1783-?)
Leonard Conrad (1787-1865) m. 1) Annie Vest, 2) Rebecca Lash, probably d/o George Lash Jr. and Nancy Wall
Elisabeth Conrad (1789-aft. 1850) m. Martin Leinbach (1791-1848)
Johann Jacob and Catharina married in Pennsylvania in 1775, and probably didn't arrive in NC until 1777.
*birth order uncertain
** Records at the Moravian Archives in Winston Salem, NC names the mother of Mary Magdalena Phillips as Mary Phillips. The father is not identified. Thanks to Ada McBride for this information.
Information on this family was updated 1/18/01, thanks to Bill Bigham! Thanks also to Phillip Crow, who sent information in January 2003 on Ephraim Conrad's family, and updated the information on Ephraim Conrad's wife in July 2014
----------
Children of Peter Conrad and (maybe) Maria Magdalena Schumacher
Rebecca Conrad (abt. 1811-?) m. Singleton Church
Lydia Conrad (1811-1887) m. Josiah Leinbach (1812-1885)
Christian Thomas Conrad (abt. 1815-1861) m. Louisa Elizabeth Schultz (1827-1901)
Peter's will, dated 1842, refers to "daughter Rebecca's daughter Rebecca". Since Rebecca didn't marry Singleton Church until 1843, and did so as Conrad, this suggests that she may have had a child prior to marriage. In 1850 Rebecca Church age 39 is living with her stepmother Catharina and her brother Christian Thomas Conrad and his wife. There is no child Rebecca living with them.
----------
Children of John Conrad and Elizabeth Miller
John Joseph Conrad (1805-1871) m. 1) Keziah Harding (1805-1838), 2) Elizabeth Stauber (1810-1900)

Isaac Conrad (1807-1850) m. Antoinette Malvina Transou (1821-1903)
----------
Children of Abraham Conrad and Phillipina Christina Loesch
Julia Amelia Conrad (1824-1913) m. Beverly Jones (1811-1902), s/o Gabriel Jones and Mary Bryant
----------
Children of Isaac Conrad and Charity Wolff
Catherine Elisabeth Conrad (1824-1878) m. Albert C. Wharton (1816-1868)
Are they also parents of John E. Conrad (1822-1852), buried in the Conrad-Lehman family cemetery in Vienna, Forsyth Co.?
----------
Children of Leonard Conrad and Annie Vest
Joseph G. Conrad (abt. 1808-aft. 1870) m. Nancy Stolz (abt. 1816-aft. 1870). Who were her parents?
Sarah Conrad (1810-1898) m. Nathaniel Ketner (1810-1879)
Isaac D. Conrad (1814-1882) m. Sarah Maria Shamel (1817-1905)
Samuel Conrad; named in his father's will (1865) as deceased, but left heirs
Susan Conrad (1818-1855) m. Nathaniel Hartman (abt. 1812-?)
*Fizy or Fisa W. Conrad (1820-1905) m. George H. Flynt (1818-1893)
*Fizy appears in a Flynt family file as Sophia Elizabeth Conrad, but consistently in census records and Conrad family materials as Fizy or Fisa.
Children of Leonard Conrad and Rebecca Lash
Delphia Conrad (1827-1877) m. Milton Hartman (1821-1870)
John L. Conrad (1832-1862) m. Caroline L. Conrad (1836-1925)
Lucetta Conrad (1833-1873) m. 1) Lewis Hartman (abt. 1825-1865, 2) Joseph Brewer, s/o Henry Brewer and Elizabeth Boeckel
Julia Sybilla Conrad (1835-1902) m. Julius Abraham Transou (1832-1930)
James H. Conrad (abt. 1837-1911) m. Emily L. Gamble (1839-1911), d/o Andrew Gamble
Mary Ann Conrad (abt. 1844-?) m. Jesse Marshall (abt. 1840-?), s/o Tandy Marshall
Information on this family was corrected on December 3, 2000.
The published Forsyth Co. Cemetery records give James H. Conrad's birthdate as 26 Mar 1836, which is only a year later than Julia Sybilla, a short birth interval for this time and place. Census records suggest he may be a year or two younger.
*Harriet was previously omitted from this family because she doesn't appear with them in the 1850 census but rather is living with Solomon's unmarried brother Jonathan Conrad and his mother Catherine. In 1860 she appears in duplicate records, with Mary Leinbach Conrad and also with the family of Joseph Conrad. She doesn't appear in the transcribed index to the 1870 census, and the widowed Mary is listed only with Permelia. In 1880, Harriet age 43 is living with Mary Conrad 75, listed as her daughter and insane.
Junius Conrad's age from cemetery records (b. October 1838) crowds the age estimated for Permelia from census records. Is he actually a few years older?
