The Hunsaker Family
Hartmann Hunsaker born 27 January 1692 in Bern, Switzerland. He died in Pennsylvania, the year is unknown. He was married around 1713 to Anna Stirtz born about 1697 in Switzerland. She died about 1738 in Manheim, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania.
There is speculation that Anna was first married to a Jacob Coghenhour but this has not been proven.
Their Children:
i. Verena Hunsaker born before 1715 in Switzerland. She married John Roth in Pennsylvania
ii. Elizabeth Hunsaker born before 1715 in Switzerland. She married Jacob Garth.
iii. Ursula Hunsaker born after 1716 in Switzerland. She married Benjamin Landis.

vi. Johannes (John) Hunsaker born 22 May 1728 in Switzerland. Died July 15 1750 in Jonesboro, Union Co., Illinois. He was married 15 May 1750 in Manchester, York Co., Pennsylvania to Magdalena Berg/Bieri born 3 January 1732 in East Manchester, York Co., Pennsylvania.
