The marriage of Christoph (as Christopher Grocer) and Bridget is the earliest confirmed record of the particular Groser family to which the compiler of this tree belongs. Originally I had attributed seven children to Christopher and Bridget, but subsequent research has added the older Christopher, who died in infancy, and failed to identify the baptisms of the remaining four, namely Samuel, Nicholas, Joseph and John. These are now listed under other eighteenth century Grosers
The article from the original version of this website, Facts, Sources and Speculations, although one or two details have been superseded by later research, gives a more complete description of early Groser family research. I am now inclined to believe that Christoph and Bridget had only four children, although it seems possible that John Groser, the tailor of Grays, Essex, and the originator of the most extensive English Groser family, was a nephew of Christoph, who had three nephews called Johann, born in Struppen 1724-1736.
Although the identification of Christoph/Christopher as the son of Samuel and Anna Maria of Struppen remains speculative, it is supported by family records stating Christopher's German origin and by the fact that there is no burial record for Christoph of Struppen, the remainder of whose family is well-documented.
