Re; Elkanah Lohnes
The parents of Elkanah were Marie Elisabeth Veinot and Georg Lohnes.
Does anyone know which Georg Lohnes he was?
Candidate #1
Georg Lohnes born 1781 of Johann Christoph & Maria Elisabeth Rost.
Candidate #2 Johann Georg Lohnes born 1797 of Heinrich & Charlotte Mossman.
The latter seems most likely due to age. 22 vs. 39 when marrying.
The former better fits with what actually happened since it was mainly
Christoph's line that wound up in New Germany.
Jacob Lohnes of Christoph settled at New Germany and it would make sense that
Georg his brother went there as well.
Online trees have either one or the other. I've never been able to prove
which Georg Lohnes was the man who married Marie Elisabeth Veinot.
Does anyone know who Maria Elisabeth Feindel's parents were?
Comments?

MASS. WOMAN DIES AT THE AGE OF 109
WOLLASTON, Mass., April 3 - Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lohnes died last night at
the age of 109.
She was born in New Germany, Nova Scotia, of old Plymouth Pilgrim stock.
She was married to Elkanah Lohnes at 17 in 1857 and lived in Nova Scotia
until his death in 1904.
Her health was good until four years ago when she suffered a shock. She had
said she lived a long life because:
"I've always worked hard and I don't smoke, drink, or go to dances."
Only two of her eight children are still living.
She also leaves 17 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and five
great-great-grandchildren.
NB: I have her maiden name as Feindel.
