Family Records Page 247: “John Book, born in Germany, June 6, 1754, died in Wentworth County, Ontario, July 9, 1827; married about 1774, (Anna Gertraute is the name used in the Knowlton records, but she probably adopted the name Charity in America). She was born Aug. 7, 1752, died Dec. 14, 1829; they are both buried in the Book Cemetery, near Ancaster, Ontario. He received a Crown grant of 200 acres on June 30, 1801, where he lived near Ancaster. From the Proceedings of the New Jersey Historical Society, “Knowlton, New Jersey, Records of the First German and English Congregation”, I have the record of birth and baptism of John Book’s eighth child. These are the records of the Knowlton Frame Church, which was established in 1766. “Adam, son of Johannes Buch and Anna Gertraute, born Dec. 25, 1786, and baptized January 30, 1787. Witnesses: Conrad Buch and wife Catharina Zimmerman.” The word wife is undoubtably a mistake as Catharina Zimmerman was a witness at the baptism of Conrad’s son Matthias in June, 1785. She and Matthias Zimmerman were witnesses at many other baptisms in the Knowlton records.”
