Descendants of Gotthart Goddard Rockenfeller
Descendants of Gotthart Goddard Rockenfeller Generation 1 1. GOTTHART GODDARD1 ROCKENFELLER was born in 1590 in Fahr, Germany. He married MAGDALENA. Notes for Gotthart Goddard Rockenfeller: Gotthart Goddard Rockefeller was born in 1590 at Fahr, Feldkirchen, Neuwied, Rheinland- Pfalz. That's about 270 miles from where my 7th great grandfather, Otto Scherp, was born in Germany about 1628. Goddard, as we understand he was addressed with his middle name, is the eldest ancestor in the Rockenfeller (Rockefeller) family line that was destined to be such a significant influence on the American scene later as the United States developed as a first world power. The family line would include Governors of New York and Arkansas, and a Vice President of the United States. It would include the donor of the $8,000,000 to buy the land on which the United Nations buildings are situated. And, of course, the family is replete with philanthropic activities that have benefits countless charities and good causes. One I particularly like is the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem. Goddard is the great, great grandfather of Johann Phillip Rockefeller (born about 1747). Phillip married Catherina Sharp, who is my great, great, grand aunt on my father's side of the family. That's how the Sharpe family is connected with the Rockefeller family. Goddard was born in Germany the very same years as Alice Carpenter was born in England. Alice represents marriages to two men associated with two of the most significant documents in the world about governance, human and civil rights. Her first husband was a descendant of King Edward I, one of three generations of English Kings who issued 17 editions of the Magna Carta.
