      Concerning the individuals in the Descendancy of Johanes Henrich (John Henry) Aue/Aü and Christine Barbara Lutz:
      Donna Forney Clark:
      A VERY LONG STORY SHORTENED:

      THE PLAYERS:
      Johanes Henrich (John Henry) Aue/Aü (b. abt. 1745- d. 1821)
      Christine Barbara Lutz (b. abt. 1754- d. 1818)]
      Maria Margaret Au (b.1784), daughter of Johanes and Christine Lutz Aue/Aü
      Samuel Baughman, husband of Maria Margaret Au
      Margaret Au
      Samuel Disert (b. abt. 1780)
      Samuel Disert (b. 1810)

      THE SETTING:
      Cumberland Co., PA, and Franklin Co., PA, (abt. 1780-1810)

      THE SET-UP:
      1. Originally in our database I listed Maria Margaret Au (b.1784) as the wife of Samuel Disert (b. abt. 1780).

      THE CRISIS:
      2. Maria Margaret Au (b.1784) was married instead to Samuel Baughman.

      THE EPHIPHANY:
      3. Samuel Disert's wife was also named Margaret Au. Their son Samuel Disert (b. 1810) was born in Cumberland Co., PA, the same county where Johanes Henrich (John Henry) Aue/Aü and Christine Barbara Lutz lived, yet I have no proof that Maria Margaret Au Baughman and Margaret Au Disert are the same person.

      THE REMEDY AND RESOLUTION:
      4. The Descendancy of Johanes Henrich (John Henry) Aue/Aü and Christine Barbara Lutz is still in our database, but now it is free-floating, unattached from our line until I can find the connection with our Margaret Au.
