Anna Catharina3 Arner (Felix2, Ulrich1), born about 1754 in Whitehall, Northampton (now North Whitehall, Lehigh), Pennsylvania;  married 05 November 1771(3) in Whitehall to Jacob Hunsicker (son of John Hunsicker(3)) who was born about 1745 in Schallbach (Rauweiler), Duchy of Nassau (now in Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France) and died about October 1789 in Heidelberg, Northampton (now Lehigh), Pennsylvania.

[Jacob was the son of Johannes Hunsicker (son of Johann Ulrich Hunsicker and Sarah Diller) who was born 24 August 1722 in Schallbach, died 17 December 1800 in Heidelberg, married 30 April 1743 in Rauweiler to Maria Magdalena Pierson who was born 11 January 1721/22 in Schallbach and died 1771 in Heidelberg. Johannes and Magdalena came to America on the ship Two Brothers which arrived at Philadelphia on 15 September 1748. Biography in Lehigh County History(E); also a biography in History of Heidelberg Church(F). NOTES: Magdalena is sometimes identified as Maria Magdalena Bieri, the daughter of Nicholas Bieri and Barbara Miller who came from Bern, Switzerland on the ship Friendship which arrived at Philadelphia on 16 October 1727 and settled in Lancaster (now York) County. However, this Johannes Hunsicker already had a family when he immigrated. The Johannes Hunsicker who married Maria Magdalena Bieri on 15 May 1750 in York County, Pennsylvania was probably the son of Hartmann and Anna Hunsaker, who came from the Palatinate on the ship Pennsylvania Merchant which arrived at Philadelphia on 10 September 1731 and settled in Lancaster County.]

He is probably the “Jacob Hunsiker” on the muster roll of the 7th (Captain George Smather’s) Company, 6th Battalion, Northampton County Militia on 26 October 1780 (PA:5:8:453)(C). He received land from his father John by a deed dated 26 October 1787(E).

He was survived by his widow and seven children(E). His estate (Northampton Will File #1271), Letters of Administration for Catherine and Johannes Hunsicker filed 02 November 1789. At an Orphans Court held at Easton, Northampton, Pennsylvania on 11 January 1797, his land, then totaling 260 acres, went to his eldest son John(E).
