Generation Two


2. Margaret² Bechtelsheimer (Johan¹) was born on 27 Apr 1723. She married Abraham Lawshe, son of Johannes Jacob Van Laaschet and Cathrine (--?--).¹ She died on 28 Nov 1814 at age 91.
Children of Margaret² Bechtelsheimer and Abraham Lawshe all born Amwell, Hunterdon, NJ, were as follows:

• +  8  i.   John³ Lawshe, b. 14 Dec 1754; m. Penelope Chamberlain.


• +  9  ii.   Henry Lawshe, b. 25 Jul 1757; m. Rachel Allen; m. Mary Moore.


• +  10  iii.   Anna Lawshe, b. 10 Oct 1760; m. Abraham Moore.


• +  11  iv.   Margaret Lawshe, b. 24 Jan 1764; m. William Moore.


• +  12  v.   Jacob Lawshe, b. 17 Jun 1767; m. Hannah Van Syckle.


• +  13  vi.   Abraham Lawshe, b. 18 Feb 1770; m. Susanna Moore.

3. Abraham² Picklesimer Sr (Johan¹ Bechtelsheimer) was born before 1729.¹ He married Christenah (--?--).^1,2,3
He and Christenah (--?--) lived between 1782 and 1790 Botetourt County, VA. He and Christenah (--?--) lived between 1791 and 1795 Montgomery County, VA.⁴ He and Christenah (--?--) lived between 1796 and 1802 Botetourt County, VA.
Children of Abraham² Picklesimer Sr and Christenah (--?--) were as follows:

• +  14  i.   Jacob³ Beckelhimer Jr, b. 20 Aug 1761; m. Christina (--?--).


• +  15  ii.   Daniel Beckelhymer, b. between 1761 and 1763; m. Anna (--?--).


• +  16  iii.   Henry Pickelsimer Sr, b. circa 1765; m. Elizabeth (--?--).


• +  17  iv.   Elizabeth Beckelhymer, b. before 1768; m. John Henry.


• +  18  v.   Abraham Beckelhymer Jr, b. circa 1770 VA; m. Mary Kingery.


• +  19  vi.   Joseph Picklesimer, b. circa 1776; m. Susanna Trout.


•     20  vii.   David Pickelsimer was born circa 1781. He married Sarah Moore, daughter of Sarah (--?--), circa 14 Jun 1802 Franklin County, VA.⁵
  He lived on 23 Sep 1806 Grayson County, VA. Note: this David has not been conclusively established as the son of Abraham, Sr. There were 3 David Picklesimers who show up in the early VA records, each thought to have been a son of one of the elder Picklesimers, John, Sr, Abraham, Sr or Jacob, Sr. In this descendancy narrative, the David who was the progenitor of one of the branches of the Eastern KY Picklesimers and who married Sarah Prater is shown as the son of John, Sr; the David who married Elizabeth Smith is shown as the son of Jacob, Sr; and the David who married Sarah Moore is shown as the son of Abraham, Sr. This alignment is logical and based on an analysis of the available evidence, mostly circumstantial, but is believed to reflect the most likely scenario in the opinion of the author. Note also that a David was reported to have married Elizabeth Sailor. This David is shown in the missing links section of the author's web page as this marriage was reported in error and this David did not, in fact, exist.

4. John² Picklesimer Sr (Johan¹ Bechtelsheimer) was born circa 1732. He married Sophia Slingluff, daughter of Henry Slingluff, circa 1753 PA.^1,6 He married Anne (--?--) circa 1759.^1,6 He married Elizabeth Rinker, daughter of (--?--) Rinker, circa 1780.^1,7,6 He died circa 1805 Franklin County, VA.¹
Note: date of birth estimated from date on birth of eldest child, John, Jr. He was a reedmaker.¹ Note that census enumerations, Aaron Sargent Behymer's diary, etc for the most part, indicate VA as the birthplace of most of John, Sr's children. This is not consistent with the known location of John, Sr via land transactions where he seems to have migrated from the PA/NJ area to Frederick County, MD circa 1770, then on to Botetourt/Montgomery County, VA circa 1780 and then on to Franklin County, VA circa 1795. One of the census enumerations for John, Sr's son, Nathaniel, does, however, indicate MD as Nathaniel's birthplace (and in other census enumerations his birthplace is listed as VA). Most of John, Sr's children undoubtedly grew up in VA, and so, in the author's opinion, listed VA as their birthplace incorrectly. He was naturalized in NJ on 11 Aug 1755. This was a necessary requirement to allow him to purchase land. He lived on 10 Mar 1761 in Amwell, Hunterdon County, NJ. He lived between 1771 and 1778 Frederick County, MD. He lived between 1783 and 1789 Botetourt County, VA. He lived between 1790 and 1795 Montgomery County, VA. He lived between 1795 and 1805 Franklin County, VA.
Children of John² Picklesimer Sr and Sophia Slingluff were:

• +  21  i.   John³ Behymer Jr, b. 18 Aug 1754 most likely the vicinity of Amwell, Hunterdown County, NJ; m. Barbara Weddle.

Children of John² Picklesimer Sr and Anne (--?--) were as follows:

• +  22  i.   Elizabeth³ Picklesimon, b. circa 1760; m. Melcher Waggoner.


• +  23  ii.   Samuel Behymer, b. 19 Jan 1763 most likely the vicinity of Amwell, Hunterdown County, NJ or Germantown, PA; m. Catherine Logan; m. Mary Parvin.


• +  24  iii.   David Picklesimer Sr, b. circa 1767; m. Sarah Prater.


• +  25  iv.   Anne Beckelhymer, b. 17 Jul 1771 Frederick, MD; m. John Beckett.

• +  30  i.   Solomon³ Behymer, b. 10 Dec 1781 Botetourt, VA; m. Mary B Webb.

  Note: according to an 1893 newspaper article in the Clermont Courier, Daniel was married, but had no children. It is likely, therefore, that the 2 male children enumerated with him in the 1820 census were not his sons, since they do not show up living with him in the 1830 census.⁹ He lived between 1802 and 1805 Franklin County, VA. He and Mary France appeared on the census of 1820 in Ohio Township, Clermont County, OH.¹⁰ He and Mary France appeared on the census of 1830 in Ohio Township, Clermont County, OH.¹¹ He lived after 1832 Campbell County, KY. He appeared on the census of 1840 Campbell County, KY.¹² He and Susan (--?--) appeared on the census of 21 Aug 1850 in 2nd District, Campbell County, KY.¹³ He and Susan (--?--) appeared on the census of 3 Aug 1860 Campbell County, KY.¹⁴

Miller) on 6 Oct 1844.¹⁹ He and Susanna Kinsey were endowed into the Mormon Church on 17 Dec 1845 Nauvoo Temple, Nauvoo, Hancock, IL.¹⁹
