6. Anna Catharina Mohler b. 5 June 1747 Böbingen24

At the baptism of his child Anna Catharina in 1747, Henry MOHLER was listed as a sheep herder. That likely accounts for why the three baptisms located were at different locations. Hassloch is east of Horbach. Note Elmstein which is on the west side of the Hassloch map and east side of the Horbach map for comparion.
Böbingen is just a few miles south of Hassloch.

Baptisms for the other three children may be found in the future at some church in the area for which the records have not yet been examined.

Henry MOHLER arrived at Philadelphia on 7 October 1749 on the Ship Leslie.34

Notes:

(snip)
In addition to the DNA matches above, a MOHLER who lives in Switzerland who had previously tested with FTDNA, descended from Veith MOHLER of Diegten, Baselland, Switzerland. The ancestry of Mathes MOHLER who died
in 1712 has also been found to be a descendant of Veith MOHLER.

The Diegten Church Books contained records of a Matthiss MOHLER who married in 1692 to Margretha STRUB. No records of this couple were found at Diegten after 1696. Baptismal records for their children identified Matthiss as the son of Marti[n] MOHLER. It was found that Matthiss had a first marriage in 1673 to Anna Buser. In baptismal
records of their children, he was also listed as Marti's son.

Two men named Matthiss MOHLER, both born to men named Martin MOHLER, were baptized in Feb. 1647. The first was baptized 2 Feb. 1647, the son of Martin MOHLER and Anna Hägler. Other baptisms of children of this Martin identified him as Jacob's son. The second Matthiss was
baptized on 28 Feb. 1647, the son of Martin MOHLER and Elsbeth MEYER.
Other baptisms of children of this Martin identified him as the son of Baschi [Baschen].


6. Matthiss MOHLER, son of Martin MOHLER was born at Diegten in 1647.
7. Matthiss MOHLER, [born 1647] secondly married at Diegten in 1692 to Margreth STRUB.
