About Anna Longacre

Anna Longacre, born c. 1702, married Christopher Lindemeyer (sometimes Linmire) by 1725. He was the son of Niclas Lindemeyer and Christina Jonasdotter [daughter of Jonas Nilsson] and lived on a nearby plantation then owned by his mother Christina and her third husband, Friedrich Schaffenhausen. After the death of her brother Gabriel Longacre and her mother, Ann Linmire was named to administer Gabriel's estate on 7 April 1729. The Schaffen-hausen estate having been sold to John Bartram at public auction in 1728 to satisfy a debt to Christopher and Anna, they collected the money and moved to Kent County, Delaware, where they were living when they conveyed their rights under Gabriel's will to Andrew Longacre, 19 August 1735. Next they moved to Verdrietge Hook, Brandywine Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, where Christo-pher's mother Christina was living with her daughter Anna Maria Schaffenhaus-en, wife of Olle Tussey. Anna Long-acre Linmire was buried by the pastor of Holy Trinity Church in Wilmington on 25 November 1740. She was survived by two children, Andrew Linmire, born 26 Jan. 1732, and Jöran [George] Linmire, born 5 February 1739. In 1743 Christopher moved to Upper Penns Neck, Salem County, N.J., where he married widow Ann Hays. They joined the Moravian Church on Old-man's Creek. Christopher Linmire died in Upper Penns Neck on 7 November 1756.
