Last name also shown as Roder and Roeder. Also known as Hans.

The last name is also found as Rhoder. One source lists the place of death as Montgomery, PA. But in the Reformed Kirchenbuch church record book of Mutterstadt , in the Palatintate, not far from Mannheim, records the baptisms of four of the children. The record of the death of Johann Adam on March 23, 1721 proves his death and he did not come to Pennsylvania with his wife and children.

The Mutterstadt Reformed Church Records, Mutterstadt, Germany began in 1675; howerer the marriage record of Adam and Anna Katharina, about 1700 nor the birth of their son Johann Heinrich Roder, indicating they probaby moved to the Mutterstadt area sometime before 1703.

Anna Katharina sold their property 1724, 1726, 21 July 1726 are in the current town record. The last sale was recorded 14 April 1738 and has the notation "who moved to Pennsylvania". Anna Roder lived in Lehigh County, PA and is buried in Emmas Moravian Cemetery.

Deibert Family: The name of the family was orginally Tauber, signifying a dealer in doves. A peculiarity of some dialects in Germany is the change of the letter " T " to a " D " sound, and the addition of the letter " T " to the suffix " er ". Other formsof the name are Deuber, Deyver, Deiber, Deubert and Deibert.

Anna Catherina immigrated to America about 1725 with 3 sons and 2 daughters. Her husband's birth is also estimated as 1667/69, possibly Switzerland. He died at age 52 years. The Mutterstadt Reformed Church Records, Mutterstadt, Germany, began on 1676; however the first entry for the Roder family was in 1703. Their marriage record was not located in the church records, indicating that they moved to the Mutterstadt area sometime before 1703. The death record of Johann Adam Roder in 1721 is perhaps the most important single piece of information found about this family. All of the compiled records in PA prior to 1983 showed him as an immigrant. However, only his widow and children came to this country. The new Goshenhoppen Church records in PA give the date of immigration as 1724. Evidence from Mutterstadt Kontraktenprotokolle of 1714-1747 suggests that 1725 might be a more accurate date. These records are comparable to our deed books and usually give the date of the transaction and the date it was recorded.

Notes

In the Reformed Kirchenbuch (church record book) of Mutterstadt, in the Palatintate (not far from Mannheim), baptisms of four of the children were recorded. The record of the death of Johann Adam on March 23, 1721 proves his death.

Anna and her children came to Pennsylvania circa 1724. They had to travel about 10 miles from Mutterstadt to Manheim by foot or oxen cart with their belongings. Then down the Rhine River to Rotterdam, which took three to eight weeks, depending on weather, etc. They took a boat across the English channel and caught a ship from London. In those days one had to pay tolls/bribes frequently. They settled in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. In later years Anna lived with her daughter Maria.
