• Hjemmedøbt: 9 maj 1763, Reformed Dutch Church, Albany, New York, USA

Notater:

Abraham Katzenbach was baptized on 8 May 1763 in the Reformed Dutch Church, Albany, N.Y.

Abraham did not go to Quebec with his father. He stayed in NY and fought with the Vermont Militia. (He lived near the border of Vermont) He is listed in the Daughter's of the American Revolution Patriot Index. Abraham Katzenbach/Catosaback/Catezeback is listed in "Soldiers, Sailors and Patriots of the Revolutionary War" found at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. The entry says he was born in 1763 and was a Corporal, VT. in Capt. Dater's Co. in 1781.

Revolutionary War Rolls for the State of Vermont contain two payrolls that list Abraham Catzeback. The first is for Oct 17, 1781 for answering an alarm and serving 4 days and the second is for 13 days service as Corporal Abrm.Catosaback beginning on Oct 23, 1781. He would have been 18 at the time. Also in his unit were Sgt. Jacob Rosenberger and Private Peter Rosenberger. They were likely related to his future wife Anna Rosenberger. She had brothers with those names.

Abraham married Anna Elizabeth “Betsy” Rosenberger (b. 4 May 1762 in Hoosick, NY) about 1783 somewhere in New York state. She was the ninth and youngest child of Jacob Rosenberger (born 4 Dec 1720 in Niederzell, Germany) and Regina Zitzer (Zhzer) who was baptized 19 May 1718 in Poppenweiler, Germany.

Abraham and Anna had six children including three sons who moved to Ontario - John, our ancestor, Jacob and George. Abraham was a farmer in Rensselaer County.

We can see how the spelling of his last name changed over time. In the 1800 United States Federal Census , he is listed as Abraham Cauchebaw of Scaghtikoke, Rensselaer Co., New York.

In the 1810 United States Federal Census , he is listed as A. Catehapaw of Schaghticoke, Rensselaer Co., New York, United States. So the morphing of Katzenbach into Kotchapaw (and also Ketzback, Catchpaw, Katchback, Katchpaw, Ketchabaw and more) happened. Those that could write had English ears and they were trying to spell a German name.

Abraham and Anna died later than 1810.

Both Crellers and Rosenbergers were in the Militia and are buried in the same cemetery.
