John Christian Hiester

John Hiester (Johannes Hüster), Joseph Hiester (Johannes Jost Hüster) and Daniel Hiester (Johann Daniel Hüster) are the three brothers and sons of Johannes Hüster (1663-1714) and Anna Katharina Marburger (1678-?) - as documented in the Wittgenstein Community Association's "900 Years of the ELsoff Parish" article of 1957 by Wilhelm Hartnack of Laapse, Germany.

Please DO NOT make the common mistake started in 1907 by Isaac Hiester in "The Hiester Homestead in Germany" to assume they are the issue of Johannes Hüster (1672-1722) and Anna Katharine Cloos/Closs (1673-1747). Ancestry.com Message Board
