Ch 12 – 1.3.8 Samuel Kessler (1786-unknown)


1.3.8 Samuel Kessler (17 May 1786-unknown)

Samuel was born on 17 May 1786 in Frederick County, Md. His death is unknown. It is likely that Samuel died young.

Note that Samuel had a nephew (son of Andrew Kessler 1770-1860) who was also named Samuel. The nephew was born on 12 Feb 1799 and died on 9 May 1830. A number of sites incorrectly use 9 May 1830 as the death date for this Samuel Kessler born in 1786 who was the son of Andreas, but that is not accurate. 

U.S. Census Entries

1790: Apr 1791 p 34 of 61 (221-222). Likely Andreas. Son Samuel was 4 years old and likely one of the males under age 15.
