'Abraham Harder (1764-5.5.1806) Burwald 1806
This Abraham Harder was a son of Abraham Harder, Walldorf 1776: 1 son, Rosenort Gem.. ...
[married third, as her second husband] Anna Martens (b. 1759 or 1765, d. before 1806) ...
[married fourth, as her second husband] Anna De Fehr (?) (b. 14.1.1765, bapt. 1785) Burwald 1808 ...
Children: ...
14.4 Maria Siemens (b. 27.2.1802) ...
14.8 Franz Harder (25.10.1805-9.4.1874) Bergthal ...
Note: Abraham Harder came to Russia in 1803, and married, I believe, the widow of Johann Siemens of Burwald. ... There is a four year discrepancy in the 1795 and 1808 dates for the Anna who married Johann Siemens and the Anna who married Abraham Harder, which could be accounted for by assuming the 1808 list should read age 34 not 39 for Anna. Abraham Harder lived at Neulanghorst GW prior to coming to Russia.'
Note that the 4 year discrepancy in ages between the 1795 and 1808 censuses cannot be explained by assuming her age in 1808 was supposed to 34, as the discrepancy is the other way - if this is the same woman, and her age in 1795 is correct, she would have been 43 in 1808.
Schapansky does not give his reasons for believing that Abraham Harder married Anna de Fehr, the widow of Johann Siemens, but it might be based on the fact that Abraham Harder took over the Burwalde farm of Johann Siemens (Rempel, p. 3).
On the other hand, Anna's daughter Maria Siemens was not living with the widow of Abraham Harder in Sep 1808 (Unruh, p. 277), even though she would have been only 6 years old (Schapansky, p. 435). Therefore, if Abraham's widow was Anna de Fehr, presumably Maria died before Sep 1808.
