  Marriage Notes:

First Generation Johannes Rothrock was born in 1684 in Leiselheim, near Worms, Germany, son of Michel Rothrock (1639-1702) and his wife Agnes (1643-1701). He married Anna Margaretha, surname unknown. Some treatments of this family have given Anna Margaretha's surname as Krieling, but this appears to be confusion with the wife of their son Johannes. Johannes Sr. immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1736 on the Harle, with his younger children. Anna Margaretha apparently died before he left Germany, as she is not listed on the ship's passenger list; however she does appear in a Leiselheim census of 1730. The two oldest sons, Philip Jacob and Johannes, had immigrated on the pink "Mary" in 1733.

Pa. He married MARY KRIELING Abt. 1745 in Northampton Co. Pennsylvania, daughter of JACOB KRELING and ANNA UNKNOWN. She was born May 28, 1728 in Leiselheim, Germany, and died January 11, 1810 in Maitland, PA.
