His wife was Maria Catharina Borger (1729-1810). The 20-year difference in their ages makes us wonder if he had a previous marriage in Germany. Anna Martin's Kreeger family history states that Nicholas and Catharina lived for a while in Hanover, Germany, and immigrated to America about 1754, but does not provide documentation for these statements. Nicholas and Catharina came to North Carolina about 1766 and are buried at Nazareth Lutheran Church near Rural Hall NC. Although Nicholas himself never joined the Moravian congregation, several of his children did. The name becomes Kreeger in later generations. Cruger and Creger are possible variants also.<P> <HR> <H4>Second Generation</H4> Children of Nicholas Krieger and Catharina Borger<BR> Johann Heinrich Krieger (1753-1828) m. 1) <A HREF="shouse.html">Elisabeth Schauss</A> (1755-1804), 2) <A HREF="zimmerman.html">Regina Elisabeth Zimmerman</A> (1767-1844), widow of Jacob Miller<BR> Johann Jacob Krieger (1755-1824) m. <A HREF="shouse.html">Susanna Schauss</A> (1758-1828)<BR> Johann George Krieger (1759-1841) m. 1) Catharine Ludwig (1762-1820), d/o Peter Ludwig; 2) Sarah (Sally) Hunter, d/o <A HREF="hunter.html">John Hunter</A> and Rachel Coleman <P> These three sons came with Nicholas and Catharina to North Carolina. Two daughters, Catharina and Rosina, are also listed in the Kreeger manuscript, but no further information is given on them.

However, in the 1800 Stokes County census there is a female child under 10 living in his household. In September 1813 Heinrich and Regina took in an unmarried woman, M.E.H., daughter of J.H., whose "gross sin made it necessary for her to leave the village" [Records of the Moravians in NC 7:3216].

The Stokes County marriage bond date for this union is 1798, which is inconsistent with Catharina's death in 1820. However, the Kreeger manuscript gives 1828 as an alternative date for the second marriage. <P> The 1798 date appears in Frances Ingmire's published list of Stokes Co. marriage bonds. Has anyone seen the original of this bond?<P> <FONT COLOR=darkred>Update, December 11, 2002:</FONT> Some good detective work by Ann Holladay suggests that 1828 is the correct date. The bondsman for this marriage was Lewis WARNER, who is most likely Christian Lewis Warner b. 1803, husband of Susanna Kreeger. We don't know of any Lewis Warner in this area who would have been an adult in 1798.<P> Sarah's will names a number of legatees who can be identified as grandchildren of John Hunter and Rachel Coleman, i.e. her nieces and nephews assuming that she is daughter of John and Rachel herself.<P> <FONT COLOR=darkred>Update, August 13, 2004:</FONT> <P> Johann George's will, written in 1831, names children Peter, Jacob, George, Mary, Elizabeth, Caty, Margrit, Charity and Susannah. Phillipina and Gertraut are not mentioned (Mrs. Absher's abstracts of Stokes Co. NC wills). Did they die young, or are they not members of this family?<P> <FONT COLOR=darkred>Update, August 26, 2004:</FONT><P> Trisha Bradford has examined the original of this will, which appears in two versions on LDS microfilm. Neither version gives married surnames for the daughters. We had hoped that the will would resolve conflicting information on the names of the husbands of Catherine (Caty) and Margaret, but unfortunately it does not. Does anyone have solid evidence on whom these women married?<P> <FONT COLOR=darkred>Update, February 6, 2008 - outstanding detective work by Ann Holladay:</FONT><P> As you know there has been a puzzling situation regarding the marriage of Sarah "Sally" Hunter and George Kreeger. Their Stokes County marriage bond is dated July 1798, yet at that time George Kreeger would have been married to his first wife Catherine Ludwig. George and Catherine married in 1783,and their son Peter was born the following year. Presumably George and Catherine's marriage continued until Catherine's death in 1820. Other researchers have suggested that the marriage of Sally Hunter and George Kreeger actually took place in 1828.<P> I recently obtained copies of George Kreeger's Revolutionary War pension records, and as a result, I think I have figured out the mystery of the marriage dates. Per these papers, in 1852 Sally Kreeger provided a copy of her marriage bond, which was described thusly, "A copy of George Kregars marriage license bond to wit a blank bond sined George x his mark Kregar, Lewis x his mark Warner, Test E. Lash July 12th 1798, endorsed on the back with mg bond Geo Kreger to Sally Hunter July 12th 1798". The associated affidavit was dated Dec 11, 1852, where John Hill said it was a true copy of the marriage license filed in his office.<P> In the pension papers on March 22, 1853, Sally Kreeger declared that she had been married to George Kreger in Stokes County in 1828. The record states that "...she was married to the said George Kreger sometime in the month of July 1798 by John Fry....". And then later the record states that "...she was not married to him [George Kreger] prior to his leaving the service. But the marriage took place previous to the second day of January eighteen hundred..."<P> So why was it so important for Sally Kreeger to state that her marriage took place prior to January 2, 1800? A little research into the pension laws answers that question. As it turns out, the law required that in order for a widow to collect a pension, she must have been married to the serviceman prior to January 2, 1800. It appears that Sally Kreeger produced a falsified marriage record, stating that she and George were married in 1798, which would have allowed her to receive a widow's pension.<P> Ironically, the pension law was changed in February 1853 to allow a widow to collect a pension regardless of when the marriage occurred, so Sally Kreeger would have been eligible in March 1853 even without falsifying the marriage date. However, it seems likely that Sally and possibly even the Stokes County authorities had not realized that the law had changed just a few weeks earlier in February 1853 before she made her falsified declaration in March. Word of the law change must have gotten around though, because in 1855 the pension record reflects that Sally Kreeger made application for bounty land as George Kreeger's widow. This time she produced another marriage bond that said her marriage to George occurred in 1828!! And of course the 1828 date makes much more sense in light of George Kreeger's first marriage to Catherine Ludwig having ended at Catherine's death in 1820. All things considered, I believe that the correct marriage date for Sally Hunter and George Kreeger is 1828.<P> <HR> <H4>Fourth Generation</H4> Children of Friedrich Krieger and Maria Margaretha Pfaff<BR> Sarah Kreeger (1809-1834) m.
