Transcribed from the MILLER - MOOK FAMILY HISTORY written by Larry & Judy Miller - 2005:
"Somerset County, New Jersey was the location of the birth of Baltes Pickel II on December 8, 1723 to Baltes Johan Balthazar Pickel I and Anna Gertrude (Charity) Reiterin. Sophia (Phidia) Van Horne became his wife on November 10, 1746 in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey.
We don't have a lot of information on this family. We do know that Sophia (Phidia) died May 17, 1764. Baltes was said to have married Anna Gerhart after Sophia died and had three more children with Anna. Baltes died November 25, 1786 in Germantown, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. He is buried in the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church cemetery in [New]Germantown (now Oldwick), New Jersey. It has been said he is buried near his parents. When the church was expanded they moved the headstones but not the bodies to a new location in the cemetery. Therefore, Baltes Johan Balthazar and Anna (Charity) Pickel still lie beneath the new addition of the Zion Lutheran Church. "
Balthazar (Baltis) Pickel The following comes from pages 95 and 96 of the 1957 reprint of "Traditions of Hunterdon" by Lequear. It was originally published in 1869-70.
"Baltis Pickel, son of the first Baltis, was born in 1720 ten years after his father and mother came to America. He grew up amid the first experience of the colony and knew all of its sufferings. When he accumulated property, after his father's death he gave $100 to the church. He was an active member, and his handwriting appears in different places upon the old church record. It is a fair, bold hand, such as the best business man might be proud to imitate. The Lutherans have always been liberal educators, for education is a part of their religion. It was because the Roman church then refused the Bible to the people that Martin Luther cut loose from them and spread the gospel over the world. When Baltis Pickel died, he was buried at the foot of his father's grave, and his wife, 'Suffah,' was buried there beside him."
