Sturm
Johann Peter
1740 – 1780
Johann Peter Sturm, son of Johann Jacob and Anna Benedictine Sauer Sturm, was born in Pennsylvania around 1740. About 1757, he married Maria Barbara Fickes, daughter of Jost and Johanna Regina Baier Fickes, in York County, Pennsylvania. They had a large family and moved south to Virginia and then to North Carolina. There children fanned out into Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana. Some question does remain because of the change in the name. However, DNA results support at a minimum a relationship to siblings that have been attributed to Johann Peter and Maria Barbara Fickes Sturm.
