Heinrich Renninger Sex: M Birth: 19 JAN 1783 in New Hanover Twp, Philadelphia Co (now Montgomery Co, ) PA Death: 3 SEP 1864 in Douglass Twp, Montgomery Co, PA (TB & pneumonia) - buried Huber's Ch Cem, Niantic Baptism: 6 APR 1783 New Hanover Luth Ch; sp, Wendel Renninger & Margar Kuhl. Note: Resided for a short time after marriage in New Hanover Twp, Montgomery C o, then a year or so in Douglass Twp, Montgomery Co, then about 10 yea rs in Brunswick Twp, Schuylkill Co, then back to Douglass Twp, Montgome ry Co in about 1820. He was a farmer, blacksmith and cooper. At his deat h, he left 120 descendants...9 children, 75 grandchildren and 36 great-gra ndchildren.

There is a discrepancy in the birthdates of his first two children. The R enninger book shows Elizabeth born 3 Oct 1802, bp 9 Jan 1803, even thou gh her parents are shown as being married 12 Aug 1804 (possibly he was ma rried briefly to someone else before Maria Magdalena Gilbert and Elizabe th was a product of that first marriage?) Also, the second child, Anna Ca tharina is shown as being born on 30 Mar 1804, which is also before the ma rriage date of her parents, and completely different than the date I fou nd in another source (1 Nov 1805.)
