Gregarin Hober (the son of Oster and Afra Hober) was my 7th Great Grandfather. He was born in Staudt, Rheinland Pfalz, Germany. He and his wife Maria had 2 children -- Andreas (1690-1750) and Johann Adam (1698-1742). Since there is a big gap between the births of Andreas and Johann Adam, I wouldn't be surprised to find some other siblings.
Andreas married Katharina Ida Posch and they had 3 children -- Katharina (1724-1786), Afra (1728-1742) and Valentin (1733-1797).
Johann Adam married Sophia Sabel (born in 1705) and they had 6 or 7 children -- Johannes Wandelin (1723-), Anna Christina (1725-), Christian (1728-), Maria (1731-), Katherina (1734-1790), George and Andreas (1735-1748). I am not sure whether George and Andreas are two separate people or are twins. Information on Find A Grave shows that they were born in 1735 and died in 1748.
Anna Christina Hober was my 5th great grandmother. She married Christian Hommerich (1719-1765). An interesting fact about her was that her younger sister Katherina married Christian's younger brother Anton Hommerich (1734-1797). My great grandmother Theresa Homrich had a sister Helen that married the brother of my great grandfather Peter Joseph Nebgen. I think it was much more common back then for sisters to marry men who were brothers.
