MARY ANNA migrated to America in 1836, after the death of her husband. It is known that she died in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, but details have yet to be found. She is perhaps buried in Port Washington, Ohio, in the southern part of Tuscarawas County. Mary Anna's daughter, Anna Elizabeth, is buried at Port Washington. She was mentioned in "St. Paul's Church Book" (Port Washington).

There are Kellers in Port Washington who were members of St. Paul's. This compiler suspects that other related Hauperts also settled in the area. Port Washington Cemetery has two Mary E. Hauperts listed, who both died in 1886. They were probably mother and daughter. The elder was the widow of "F". Port Washington does have an "Elizabeth Haupert" listed, who was born circa 1804. In Fry's Valley Cemetery there is a Frederick and Mary M. Haupert buried.

Mary's two sons migrated on to Urbana, Indiana, and her two oldest daughters migrated on to northeast Indiana also, but it seems her youngest daughter (Anna) was the only one of the family to remain in Tuscarawas Co., with her (and perhaps Haupert in-laws?).

In the 1965 New Philadelphia Phone book, there were three people listed with the Haupert surname.


The TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, OHIO CEMETERIES (Volume IV) shows the burial of "A. E. Keller Haupert" wife or widow of "J", buried at the St. John's Lutheran Church in Oxford Township, which is near Newcomerstown, in the southern part of Tuscarawas County (not far from Port Washington). The entry gives her death as 3 Aug 1881, at age 90. That would make her birth year circa 1791. If true, and if she were the wife of Jacob, then she would have been a lot younger than her husband! However, she still would have been about 23 years old at the birth of her first (known) child!

Mary Ann was listed as a sponsor in the baptism of her grandaughter, "Anna Elis. Scherer" on 26 Nov 1853. From the KIRCHENBUCH DER DEUTSCHE EVANGELISCHE ST. PAUL'S GEMEINDE IN PORT WASHINGTON, TUSCARAWAS COUNTY, OHIO.

    Sandra gives credit to Judith Haupert Vargus for the passenger data, showing "Anna Haupert" (age 57) and traveling with daughters Caroline 21, and Madelein 18. They departed Le Havre, France for NYC. Le Havre was a common port, which Palatines used to migrate to the USA. Did the other children migrate with her brother-in-law?
