Individual Details

Baptism sponsors were Hans Michel Hoffman, butcher from Durkheim, and his wife Anna Magdalena.

Anna married between 1698/1706 to Johann Peter Appelman who died in New Jersey in 1745. They were sponsors at Pickel & Reinbold baptisms in New Jersey.

PALATINES FAMILIES OF NEW YORK says that Johan Peter Appelman married Anna Magdalena DICKERHOFF on 13 Feb 1700. Anna Magdalena Dickerhofin was baptized on 11 Nov 1677 but no parents are listed. These dates are approximately correct for this to be Anna Magdalena Pickel but she was baptized at Bad Durheim in 1679. The children are given in online records of Anna Magdalena Pickel as the same as the children of Johan Peter Appelman and Anna Magdalena Dickerhoff. Both records have come from a researcher onsite in Germany so I believe someone has transcribed incorrectly - the researcher for the PALATINES book was a German lady highly skilled in transcribing the old German records. Jones does not ever make a link between the Appelmans and the Pickels in Germany and the Appelmans were from Nieder-Ramstadt, not Bad Durheim as the Pickels were. The Applemans are on the Rotterdam Lists - Hans Peter and wife with three children were on Capt Francois Waren's ship at Rotterdam on 3 Jul 1709. The Pickels came on Capt. William Newton's ship. I believe these families were not acquainted with each other until they both lived on the Rariton River in New Jersey. Anna Magdalena Pickel may not have reached adulthood or she may have remained in Germany, but I do not believe she married John Peter Appelman.
