---

The youngest son of Balthasar II and Susanna (Yeakel) Krauss, George was born into the fledgeling United States of America.

George married twice, first to Maria Schultz and, after her death, to her sister Christina. Maria died less than a month after the birth of their second child, on May 26, 1807 – less than a week after the couple’s second wedding anniversary.

Exactly six months to the day later, George married Maria’s younger sister, Christina, who was instantly elevated from aunt to mother of an 18 month old (David) and 6 month old (Jacob). Adding to family tragedy, young David passed before his third birthday, in February of 1809.

The family’s luck did improve somewhat, and six of George and Christina’s children lived to adulthood.

Little otherwise is known of this branch of the Krausses; it is most likely that George was a farmer and the family subsisted off their own land.

The Children of George & Maria (Schultz) Krauss

DAVID was born on April 24, 1806, and died before the age of three on February 10, 1809.

JACOB (11-58) was born on May 9, 1807. It is possible that complications from his birth may have led to his mother’s death less than a month later. Jacob lived to the age of 73, and married Lydia Kriebel.
