  • Notes 
    • In different records, her name appears as FISSELL, WISSELL and/or WENTZEL. However, her surname is established as FORSTER by the following.

      The surname of Magdalena, wife of Jacob MOSER, appears in a deed [transcribed by Brenda Maruca]: "Jacob Moser of Oakland, county of Lunenburg, and Magdalena, my wife for 3 lbs. 10 shillings from Casper Heckman, Jr, mariner . . a certain house lot . . Creightons division, letter H, #6, originally drawn by our mother Anna Forster."

      The H lots at Lunenburg were drawn by the settlers who had "'deserted" , were found at Louisbourg in 1758 and brought back and victualed at Lunenburg, 17 September 1758; in this case, Jacob Forster, Anna, and heirs... Magdalena, Lorenz, Anna and Jacob Forster. Anna Forster was seemingly a widow by 1760 when Town Lot Creighton's division H-6 were issued to Anna Forster and Heirs. She further registered a 30 acre lot in 1760--Indian Point #7 and, in the deed that Jacob and Magdalene gave to their son George Peter and that George Peter willed to his son Nicholas, was Indian Point #7. [See Bell's Register of the Foreign Protestants of Nova Scotia, Section III, p.17 ( p. 663, in Chris Young's publication)]. --Researched by Brenda Maruca--
