7 May 1743 Waldenberg, Hoheniche, Hohenlohe, Wuerttemberg (near Stuttgardt)  "All I know about George (Theadore) is that he served in the American Revolution in the Bedford County Militia and was married in 1783 in PA. I know nothing about his family nor when he came to America." rlk
"I have found other Kauffman's in Waldenberg a generation or two ahead of George, but have not been able to make a connection." rjk
"I have wondered about the prominence of his family in Waldenberg.The record says 'the witness of my baptism, the High and Noble Countess Magdalena Doratha Von Hohenlohe Ingelfingen'.
She was of one of royalty who has an extensive pedigree. The Kauffman's must have had some stature in the community.
I have been told that church records in Waldenberg were destroyed in April 1945." rlk
