The translation of the marriage record of daughter Anna Maria (or Maria) gives the European origin of the family as "Langen-Göns in Hessen Darmstadt." There is a municipality named Langgöns in Landkreis Gießen (or Giessen District) in today's federal state of Hesse (in German, Hessen). Some genealogical sources (see genealogists.us/germany/hesse/hessendLM.htm) give it the name Lang-Göns (location of an Evangelical Parish). The German language site de.wikipedia.org has Lang-Göns with a population of 6,854. Translated (roughly), it says "the municipalities Cleeberg, Dornholzhausen, Espa and Clover Home of the former district Wetzlar and the local Lang-Gons of the former County of Gießen merged to form Langgöns."2,1
