CHRISTOPHER JR AKA CHRISTIAN AND MATILDA AKA TILLIE (GULL/GOLL) BURKET

Original post 2009

Christopher Jr. aka Christian b. abt 1798 d. 10 Feb 1878 and his 2nd wife Matilda had 13 children.
(Christopher was married twice...my original post from 03/09/10...wife unknown.  Had 4 children, oldest was a male. Per census.)

Matilda Gull b. 06 May 1813 d. 06 Dec 1874 Quemahoning, Somerset Co., PA. She was born to  Jacob Goll/Gull and Catherine Kauffman. Matilda's baptismal record is the source of her birth. See my file for source of death.

When I started researching back in 2005 no one knew what Matilda's maiden name was. So after years of researching and thinking the place they where from was so small....he had to marry a local gal, I started looking at all the Matilda's in the paper trails that existed.
IN 200? where is that email? I contacted one individual who had a gedcom with a Matilda Gull/Goll in it she stated she didn't know who that person was but she had a cousin who entered the info and she obtained it from his Gedcom, but she failed to site him.  At the same time I contacted another man, unaware who he was at the time, about an individual he had in his Ged com that I was also researching and  he responded to my email and signed his name Tom Gull. I couldn't resist asking him about the Matilda Gull. I informed him I was looking at on the baptismal records,and he stated he didn't know anything about her more than what was on that baptismal record.  I explained why I was researching her (she had the Matilda name and that my great great grandmother was a Matilda Burket). Than putting two and two together he remembered seeing Christian Burket's name in a family document, but didn't know why it appeared in the document.  There was no reference to the relationship.  Tom sent me the page,  and sure enough this was my great great grandmother Matilda I was looking for....she was the Gull/Goll! Mystery solved! WOW!

Tom was generous enough to give me all his work he had done on the Goll/Gull lines.

1840 Christopher Jr is listed as Christian Burchcart on the 1840 census in Somerset Co., PA
1849 On the fourteenth day of April of 1849 Matilda Burket purchases 419 acres of land located in Allegheny Twp., Somerset Co., PA.
1850 Christian and Matilda appear on the 1850 Allegheny Twp Census

1874 died

Ok, I picked up on another trip a article of agreement, dated 1873 that states 300 acres of the land is to be held in escrow....now, had they sold off the other 149 acres along the way????Looks like another trip to me! There is no mention abt the other 149 acres in this article of agreement.

Matilda died first, and Christopher Jr. died walking on the tracks between Mineral Point and Garret.

Apparently, Oliver owed a debt for quite a while and when Matilda died and her estate was being probated the man Oliver owed money to was bringing his claim forward thru the use of the Sheriff's document to present to the administrator. The doc is extremely faded and at times very difficult to read. But I can read the dates and will post them.
