This sixth great grandmother was born about 1701 in Rheinland, Germany, probably in the area of Bad Kreuznach where she married Johannes Valentin Berntheusel in 1720. (By the way, the term "Bad" means bath or spa, suggesting that this town is/was a place for tourists to enjoy warm water recreation.) Their first five children were born in Klein-Neidesheim of Bad Kreuznach. The other two were born after the family emigrated from Germany to Pennsylvania. The first child's name is unknown. The other children's names and birthdates are listed here:
1. --------------? 23 Dec 1721
2. Johannes 27 May 1723
3. Maria Catharina 15 Nov 1725
4. Johann Jacob 23 May 1728
5. Johannes Martin 19 May 1729 (our ancestor)
6. Susanna Catharina 22 May 1733
7. Rebecca abt. 1740
Great grandmother, Susanna, died in Berks County, Pennsylvania, date unknown.
