 +====== Johann Nicolaus Hiteshew (c.1728-?) ======
 +
 +A number of online family trees show Johann Nicolas (JN) as born 1728 in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania to parents Jacob Heidschuh and Anna Marie (surname unknown).  
 +((Family trees often identify birthplace based on current geographical designations.  Montgomery County, Pennsylvania was formed in 1784 from an area taken from Philadelphia County and is adjacent to Berks County to the northwest. Berks County was formed in 1752 from areas taken from the counties of Chester, Lancaster and Philadelphia. See [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_County,_Pennsylvania|Wikipedia article: Montgomery County, Pennsylvania]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berks_County,_Pennsylvania|Wikipedia article: Berks County]]))
 +I do not know what information sources these trees are based on and have found no records to confirm.  Later records are consistent with this, but the information should be considered tentative. If the birth year and place are correct, JN would have been born in the later part of 1728 after his immigrant parents arrival in August.

 +A record of a land warrant dated April 22, 1752 shows the transfer of Lot No 383 in Berks County, PA to John Nicholas Hiteshew.

 +Another record shows Nicolas Heitschuh and Anna Sibylla as the parents of Johannes Heitschuh, christened on 10.Jun,1773 at Evangelical Lutheran of Middletown, Frederick, Maryland.

 +==== Religious Affiliation ====
 +The Alsace Church, where JN's older children were baptized, was a Lutheran church near what is now Reading, PA. For more information see external website [[http://www.pagenweb.org/~berks/oldberkssite/library/church/AlsaceChurch.html|History of Alsace Lutheran Church, Alsace, Pennsylvania]]

 +JN's  The church referred to in the baptism record for younger son Johannes appears to be the predecessor of the present day Zion Lutheran Church in Middletown, MD.  For more information see:

 +  * George? (b. ~1788)
 +  * Abraham? (b. ~1789)
 +  * Jacob (b. ~1798)

 +=== J. Jacob Hiteshew + (Margaret Sueberlingen?) ===
 +
 +—(Tentative and probably incomplete)—

 +  * ?Nicholas (b. ~1794)
 +  * ?Solomon (b. ~1798)
 +  * ?Phillip (b. ~1800)
 +  * ?David (b. ~1803)
 +
 +JN had a brother who had a son Jacob (b. 14.Feb.1760).  A number of family trees and records compiled from this show Margaret Sueberlingen as the wife of Jacob (b. 1760) and attribute children Nicholas, Solomon, Phillip and David to this union.  However, a book titled Names in Stone, which lists cemetery inscriptions from Frederick County, MD, includes a record for a Jacob Hiteshew b. 14 Feb. 1760 d. 10.May.1826.  So it seems that Jacob (b. 1760) cannot be the Jacob Highshoe (age 80-89) listed directly under a Solomon Highshoe (age 40-49) in an 1840 census record for Harrison, Perry, OH.  Instead, it seems likely that the census record refers to J. Jacob (b. 1757, son of JN), as does an 1830 census record for the same township that lists Jacob Hitshue (age 70-79), along with Soloman Hitshue (age 30-39), David Hitshue (age 30-39), and Nicholas Hitshue (age 30-39).

 +History of Farifield and Perry Counties, Ohio (see saved file Roses...) reports that Hightshoes (and other surnames) were amont the first settlers (Harrison Twp).
