6 Jonas Rubrecht (more info) (perhaps)

Note: We have seen no official record proving the existence of Jonas Rubrecht and his wife, Catherine Wertman; only a published History of Lehigh Valley, and family tradition. If, as family tradition suggests, Jonas and Catherine died shortly after the birth of a son, George Phillip Rubrecht (see gen 5, below), that son was clearly raised by others - perhaps primarily by Jonas's brother, Johan Jacob Rubrecht "Jacob" (see gen 6, above) and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Wertman (b. 1771, d. 1843; relation to Catherine Wertman unknown), since Jacob and Mary Elizabeth had, or certainly raised, the only Philip Rubrecht recorded in that area of Pennsylvania.
