Sourced from Dr Harrison Hoppes' information extracted from the old German records of the Reformed Churchbook, Schonau, Heidelburg, Baden, Germany. The records were translated by his wife who could read and write in the old German script. "Swiss Roots: A History of the Hoppes Family to 1800" and the "Long Family Records: A genealogy of the descendants of Henry and Catherine Kern Long.." by Jasper S Long and "Notes from the Moravian Records" by Miss Adelaide Fries.

Catherina was believed to have born about 1718 in Schonau, Germany. She married George Heinrich Hoppes/Happes 28 December 1744 in Schonau, Baden, Germany. Harrison Hoppes notes that they lived with her parents following her marriage to George.

The family decided to emigrate to America. George and Catharina arrived in America 4 Oct 1751 aboard the ship "Queen of Denmark" sailing from Rotterdam with 262 passengers. They came with Catherine's sons, George (age 12) and Frederick Long (age 10), and possibly her daughter Anna Barbara, from her first marriage to Johan Heinrich Lang. The family first lived in Brandywine, PA. Both boys were bonded to a Quaker named George Dutton for 10 years to pay for their transportation.

George left Philadelphia, in 1763, and eventually settled in Surry County, NC. He returned to Pennsylvania in 1766 and brought his family; Catharina and George Hoppes, his brother Frederick and his family, and his sister Barbara who had married Captain Mattias Zimmerman. "Hoppes and Related Families" by L Edwin Hoppes.

In the Will of George Hoppes, written 13 Feb 1790 [Box 3, page 39, Dobson, Surry, NC] his executors were George Long and Frederick Long, sons of Catherine and his wife, Catherine and four children, George, Daniel, John and Barbara, wife of Jacob Miller.

Catharina died 1 April 1799 in Deep Creek, Surry, North Carolina, was buried on the 6th of April, 1799.

Catharina Kern was born in Germany. The exact time and place is not known, but if Catharina was 21 years old when her first child was born, she was born in 1718.

LONG, Author From Long Family Records: 1718-1820 by Jasper S. Long of Yadkinville, NC, Yadkin County Library. Ps. 52-54. DESCENDANTS OF GEORGE HAPPUS AND CATHARINA KERN LONG HAPPUS We know that George Happus came to America with his wife and her 2 sons, George and Frederick Long by her first marriage to Henry Long. They landed in Philadelphia October 4, 1751. We know that GeorgeLong left Pa. In 1763, and came to a Moravian Settlement in Forsyth County and moved to the waters of Deep Creek in Yadkin County in 1765, when he married Catharina Miller. We know that Frederick Long left Pa. in1767 with his wife and oldest daughter and came directly to the waters of Deep Creek and Cranberry Creek in Yadkin County. It is not known when George Happus and his family left Pa. And settled on the waters of Deep Creek in Yadkin County. But we are most sure it was in 1767. We do know that George Long and Frederick Long lived about 3 miles apart. The Moravian Ministers let us know that you could walk from the home of George Happus to the home of Frederick Long in a little over an hour. For on July 28, 1787, they set off for Deep Creek and arrived at the home of George Happus andGeorge Long, reaching the house of Frederick Long after 5 o'clock. Cranberry Creek runs into Deep Creek about 5 miles west of Yadkinville, N. C., which is the location of the home of Frederick Long, which is proven by land deeds. George Long lived down Deep Creek about 3 miles from the home of Frederick Long and George Happus lived on Deep Creek one or two miles below the home of George Long. What became of the descendants of George Happus and Catharina Kern Long Happus is quite a mystery. We only have a record of one son, Daniel Happus moving to Ashe County and to Owens County, Indiana, in 1811.

Death and funeral of Catharina Kern. From Long Family Records: 1718-1820 by Jasper S. Long of Yadkinville, NC, Yadkin County Library. P. 47 and P. 53. ?April 9, 1799. Br. Wohlfahrt returned from Deep Creek. He reported that at the Yadkin he met our friend Fredrick Long, and accompanied him to his home, something more than 30 miles from Salem. On the 7th he preached to a large audience. Two miles from there, a week earlier, old mother Happus (mother of Fredrick and George Long) had entered into rest. She had asked that a Brother might preach her funeral sermon. On the 8th Br. Wohlfahrt went with Fredrick Long to the home of his brother George, and from there with most of the two families, proceeded to the home of Jacob Miller, where the funeral service was to be. The house-wife [Barbara Hoppes] is the daughter of the deceased, and though she belongs to the Methodist she did not object to having the meeting there and was very friendly. The service could begin at ten o'clock, as the near neighbors, all Germans, gathered early. After the preaching a number of English persons arrived, and after a pause a sermon was preached for them. Then they went to the grave of the deceased-she had been buried a week and there read the burial liturgy, those present being very quite and reverent.? (Records Of Moravians In North Carolina. Vol. VI. Pages. 2623-2624.)

So from the above record we find that Catharina Kern Long Happus died April 1, 1799. If she was 21 years old when her oldest child (George Long) was born, she was 81 years old. [However, church records show Catharina was born abt 1720 and about 18 when George was born. Therefore, she was 79 when she died.] And more from p. 47: When the party returned to the home Br. Wohlfahrt baptized a child, at the request of the parents.
