Johann Christian Kuhl
(Cool)
This prominent Hunterdon Co. N.J. family originated at 5419 Maxsain (21 km. n.w. of
Hadamar; Chbks. begin 1667; Ref., but gaps). The grandfather of the immigrants was
Johannes Kuhl, Sendschoffe at Zurbach. A 1694 Inhabitant List at Zurbach records

Johannes Kuhl the Sendschoffe, his wife Veronica Lentz (who had d.), had 2 sons and 2
daughters:
+ Leonhard
Johann Jacob, conf. in 1695, aged 16 yrs. and md. 30 Nov. 1701 Maria Eva,
d/o Peter Zeitz - parish-leader and inhab. at Zurbach.
Anna Maria, conf. in 1699, aged 16 yrs.
A Daughter (1694 Inhabitant List)
Leonhard, s/o Johannes Kuhl the Sendschoffen at Zurbach, md. 14 Oct. 1696
Anna Veronica, single d/o the late Adam Staats - formerly inhabitant at Maxsain.
Leonhard Kuhl at Zurbach d. 6 Feb. 1721, aged 56 years; Anna Veronica, wid/o
Leonhard Kuhl at Zurbach, d. 12 Dec. 1734, aged 58 yrs, after an accident the day
before in the Kautenmill. They had issue:
Veronica Christina, md. 28 April 1727 Johannes Dorner 'aus dem Bergischen.'
+Johann Paul, b. 24 March 1700. He was conf. in 1717 at Maxsain.
Johann Peter, conf. in 1722.
+Johann Christain, conf. in 1731 (father dead)
Maria, conf. in 1735 (father dead).
(Johann) Paul Kuhl first made his appearance in N.J. records 8 July 1730 when he was
nat. as "Paul Kole" (Acts of the General Assembly of the Province of N.J.). A series of
deeds concerning hom may be found at Trenton: William Burge to Paul Cool and Henry
Dilts in 1742; John Reading to Paul Koul and Henry Dilts 20 April 1743; Paul Coul to
Henry Dilts 21 Jan. 1745 (West Jersey Deed Book G-H, pp. 80+, 289+, 293+, etc.) The
Emley Papers HCHS once contained an old deed dated 25 Jan 1759 werein William
Kase, Henry Winter and Frona Cathrine, his wife, Philip Dilts and Henry Dilts Junior, the
ch. of Anne Dilts - late w/o Henry Dilts, Peter Aller and wife Elizabeth, all of Amwell
Twp - ch. and grandch. of John Philip Kase - gave 29 acres in Amwell Twp to Paul Coul
and his wife Eva Maria (Kaes). In an indenture dated 14 Jan 1779 Pual Cool gve this
same 29 acres to his 4 sons Philip, William, Christopher, and Leonard. The will of Paul
Kuhl was dated 4 May 1783 and proved 20 April 1784 (Hunterdon Co. Will #1238J).
John W. Kuhl of Pittstown, N.J., a researcher on his family for over 30 yrs., has greatly
assisted me in gathering data on the ch. of (Johann) Paul Kuhl and his wife, Eva Maria,
who were:
1. Philip (1779 identure), with dates of 19 Sept. 1728 - 25 March 1795. Mrs. Edith Culp
Cool of Youngstown, Ohio shared the Philip Kuhl Family bible material with John W.
Kuhl. Philip md. April 1755 Catharina, d/o Herbert Hummer;; her dates were 17 May
1737 - 19 April 1812. They lived in Kingwood Twp., Hunterdon Co., until 1790, when he
and his family moved to Va (now West Va.).
2. Wilhelm (1779 Indenture), d. Nov. 1815 in Knowlton Twp. Sussex (Warren) Co., N.J.
He md. Maria, who d. 7 July 1825, aged 87 yrs. (both Knowlton Frame Cem.)

3. Christopher (1779 Indenture), d. 22 Dec. 1827, aged 92 yrs. (John W. Kuhl).
He was farmer at Amwell, Hunterdon Co.. Christopher md. (1st) Anna, d/o
Peter Fischer; she d. before 1789. Hemd. (2nd) a widow Phoebe Chamberlain,
who d. before Oct. 1836.
4. Leonard (1779 Indenture), d. 27 Aug. 1793 (Kuhl Burial Ground), Larison's Corner).
Bible record 2128 of the Genealogical Society of N.J. at Rutgers details this
family. Leonhard md. (1st) Margaretha, d/o Wolhelm Jung (26 Jul. 1751 - 14 Jan.
1775), and then md. (2nd) 4 Aug. 1777 Catharina, d/o of Gerog Trimmer (d. 17
Nov. 1812)(dates from Kuhl Burial Ground at Larison's Corner).
5. Pual (Will of Johann Christain Kuhl), d. 26 Nov. 1825, aged 83 (Larison's
Corner Cem.) . He md. Anna Dilts, who d. 2 June 1815, aged 65 yrs (Larison's
Corner Cem.).
6. Elixabetha (John W. Kuhl), md. Henrich Jung/Young (John W. Kuhl).
7. Frances (John W. Kuhl), md. John Fischer (John W. Kuhl). She was bur. in 1830
(Bethal Cem, Fulton, PA)
8. Maria (John W. Kuhl), md. 6 March 1770 Daniel Feit (John W. Kuhl).
A marvelous discovery in Record Group 343 Sayn-Hachenburg Rechnungen gives
firm proof of the emigration of Johann Christian Kuhl: in detailing the 10th penny
tax paid in 1736 for Bann Maxsain, it was noted that "Peter Kuhl, Johannes Dorn, and
the two sisters at Zorbach bought for 97 Trlr. from her brother Johann Christ Kuhl,
who has moved to America." Another entry in the same 1736 file reports, "Johann
Christ kuhl from Zorbach, still unmarried, (paid) 12 fl." Johann Christian Kuhl
was nat. in N.J. in 1754, as "Christian Kule" (N.J. Nats). The will of Crest Cool
of Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co., N.J. was dated 10 April 1770 and proved 27 Aug. 1770;
in it, besides his wife and ch., he names his nephews Crest Cool and Paul Cool, Jr.,
as executors (Hunterdon Co. Will #793J, in very poor condition). He md. Eva Maria
Hummerich or Hummer (HJ); she was related to the Johann Wiljelm Homerich noted in
343 Sayn-Hachenburg Rechnungen as leaving Maxsain for America in 1736 along with
Johann Christ Kuhl? Johann Christ Kuhl and Eva Maria had issue:
1. Johannes, bpt. 9 April 1745 at Milton - sp. Johannes Jong (Harlingen Ref. Chbk.).
Not in father's will.
2. Peter, bpt. the same day 9 April 1745 - sp. Pieter Dinsman and Anna Catharina Cheys

Happah
(Harlingen Ref. chbk.). He d. Oct. 1823 at Knowlton Twp., Warren co., N.J.

4. Philip, bpt. 24 april 1748 - sp. Philip Snyder and Anna Hommer (Harlingen Ref.
Chbk). He md. ca. 1762 Eva Hummer (1742 - 1836); she md. 2nd Adam Hummer (John
W. Kuhl). Professor Franklin Wright of Memphis, Tenn. is a long-time student of this
branch of the family. Some of this group settled in Indiana.
5. Christian/Christopher, (Will), d. 29 Oct. 1841, aged 94 yrs. (Hunterdon-Democrat, 10
Nov. 1841). He md. (1st) Maria Case and then (2nd) 10 Nov. 1810 Catharina Case (John

6. Paul (Will). Land records suggest he md. Elisabetha Case (John W. Kuhl).
