2nd American born Generation  

Solomon  Bosserman   

1797-1878

Solomon was born on 19 April 1797 in Liberty Township of York (now Adams) County Pennsylvania, the third child of Michael and Esther (Eiker) Bosserman.   The family were members of the Tunker/Dunker Church both on his father and his mother's side.    He married Esther "Polly" Eiker on 21 May 1812.    She was a daughter of  David M. and Nancy (Zimmerman) Eiker.   Esther was born on 10 Oct 1795 in what is now Carroll County Maryland but then was still a part of Frederick County.  One may think that these two were born quite a distance from each other (because they
were born in different states),  however it was really quite close.   Just across the state line from which each lived very close.

In 1833 Solomon along with his wife and children migrated from Adams County Pa to Adams Township of Darke County Ohio.    Making the move at the same time was Solomon's brother-in-law  John Hershey with his wife Hannah and their children.
