About Johann Matthias Venereck, I
A Patriot of the American Revolution for PENNSYLVANIA. DAR Ancestor # A122871
Name: Also found as Johan Maltheis and other variations.
Married: Judith.
There were seven sons and four daughters.
Seven of his children were baptized at the Little Tulpehocken Church west of Bernville. In 1726, Balthaser Wenderich and wife Maria Magdalene were baptismal sponsors there for Mathias' son John Balthaser Wenrich.
In 1739, Mathias bought land from Conrad Weiser on Spring Creek (later Furnace Creek) in what is now Heidelberg Twp., Berks County (see upper map). Mathias called a portion of his property "Wenericka" (see lower map).
Mathias took a naturalization oath in 1744 and the Oath of Allegiance in 1777.
He deeded part of the homestead to his son Mathias in 1774 and moved to Tulpehocken where he was a member of the Frieden's Church.
On January 8, 1784, Mathias made a will in which he stated that he was of Tulpehocken Township and named his wife, six sons and four daughters, along with their husbands. He also stated that he was "infirm and sickly" and signed it with his initials. An assumption is made that he died near to his home.
N.B. Although all of the children are listed below, legitimate memorials are still needed for Conrad, Michael, and Susannah as these memorials all are "burial unknown." Also note that Conrad died prior to 1784.

Name: Also found as Johan Maltheis and other variations.
Birth: Contributor Hannah Wenrich (#49104877) has the birth as August 11, 1704, but as I cannot independently verify the information, I am hesitant to make it an official entry--though it could very well be correct! More information welcome.
Married: Judith. (Conventional wisdom indicates that this was Judith Schauer, daughter of Johannes Michael and Anna Magdalena Schauer, but I do not know of a primary source that confirms this. Information welcome!)
