  == Biography == When Catherine Keyser was born on September 9, 1718, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, USA, her father, Pieter, was 41, and her mother, Margaret, was 36. She married George Ludwig Horning in 1737 in Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA. They had nine children in 23 years. She died on March 7, 1799, having lived a long life of 80 years, and was buried in Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA. Catharine Keyser, tombstone dates 17 September 1718 – 6 March 1799, was the granddaughter of Dirk Keyser, Mennonite and silk merchant, who arrived in PA in 1688. The family came from Holland where the Keysers had lived for four generations. Ancestors left Bavaria after Leonard Keyser was burned at the stake in 1527 (said to be in the book of Mennonite martyrs). The Keyser Family, Descendents of Dirk Keyser of Amsterdam, compiled by Charles S. Keyser, Philadelphia, 1899, contains proofs – cemetery, property, businesses, church records, pictures, signatures in Holland and America. From 1708 until his death in 1714, Catharine’s grandfather, Dirk Keyser, was the first minister in the old log meeting house – the First Mennonite Church ofGermantown, on the outskirts of Philadelphia. == Sources == <references /> * http://www.uelac.org/Loyalist-Info/extras/Horning-Peter/Horning-Family-History-Gen1.pdf* Find A Grave Index," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/QV2J-YXLW : 11 July 2016), Catharine Keyser Horning, 1799; Burial, Skippack, Montgomery, Pennsylvania, United States of America, Lower Skippack Mennonite Cemetery; citing record ID 70083581, Find a Grave, http://www.findagrave.com. * "Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Mennonite Vital Records, 1750-2014" ::Catherine Keyser ::Relationship Spouse ::Household Members ::Ludwig Horning *"Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Church and Town Records, 1669-2013" ::Catarina Horning ::Death Age 80 ::Birth Date abt 1719 ::Death Place Skippack, Montgomery, Pennsylvania, USA ::Burial Date 7 Mar 1799 ::Burial Place Skippack, Montgomery, Pennsylvania, USA ::Organization Name Lower Skippack Mennonite Cemetery Author: Tim Prince
