Rev. Christian Crum Sr & Christiana Schmidt 
Christian and Christiana were married in a religious ceremony about 1773 in Heidleberg, Northampton, Pennsylvania.1
Marriage/Union Notes
Three different IGI sources give three different dates for this marriage: 1773, 1778, and 1786. Based on what I believe to be daughter Susannah's correct birth year (1776), I assume the 1773 date is the most likely. Also, the children listed for this marriage span 35 years, which is most unlikely. Some of these children may be grandchildren of Christian and Christiana. More research needs to be done.
