In the records of CONGREGATION OF THE AUGSBURG CONFESSION IN SAUCON AT PHILIP SCHLAUGH'S, NOT FAR FROM THE BIG LEHIGH AND FORKS OF THE DELAWARE, Church Book, p. 7,80 Gehrhard Mohr and wife Anna Margaretha Feber are sponsors at the baptism of a daughter of Pädric and Catharine Dewenne, 31 MAY 1747. Gehrhard Mohr apparently died and Anna Margaretha then married John Van Etten. Again on p. 11 80 of the church record we find that Margaretha Mohr along with Georg Kiefer are sponsors at the baptism of Christina Feber, parents Abraham and Elisabeth, on 21 MAR 1751.

John's marriage to Margaret was his second marriage as well. His first wife was Marritje Westfael. John and Marritje were married 26 March 1738 in Minisink, Orange, New York. They had nine children: Helena baptized 1 Nov 1738;Jacob baptized 17 Jun 1740; Daniel baptized 25 Jul 1742; Cathrina baptized 23 Apr 1743; Maria baptized 9 Feb 1746; Daniel baptized 5 Jul 1747; Margarita baptized 6 Mar 1748; Samuel baptized 27 May 1750; Margrieta (Grietje) baptized 5 Nov 1752; all nine children born in Minisink, Orange, New York (source: Minisink Valley Reformed Dutch Church Records, 1716-1830, facsimile reprint by Heritage Books, Bowie, MD, 1992.) Samuel died in 1761 and was buried in the Forks or Salem Church Yard, Churchville, PA79, not far from the land where John Lefever had his tavern. Samuel's grave stone provides the year of death (1761) and age (11 years). Then in the same cemetery, there is the grave of Abraham Van Etten, died 29 JUN 1763 in the 4th year of his age, son of John Van Etten. The burial of these two children near the home of John and Margaret connects John's two families.
