He married Catherine Barbara Matthias (7311) on Jan 21, 1738 at near Karsruhe, Singen, Baden-Durlach, Germany. He died between 1788 and 1790 at Hardy, (West) Virginia. In West Virginia and neighboring states, the Ours surname begins with the arrival of the ship Edinburg in Philadelphia 14 Sept. 1753 [Captained by James Russell]. "Johannes Awer" and other Germans with names familiar in the South Branch entered the colony. Johann Auer (pronounced Our), wife and child were given permission that year to leave the principality of Baden- Durlach. Their village, Singen, is by the Black Forest and near Karsruhe. It typically required 3-5 months to complete a journey down the Rhine river to Rotterdam and an arduous Atlantic crossing aboard a crowded tiny sailing vessel. Johann Elias Auer married Catharina Barbara Matthias 21 Jan. 1738 in Singen. A son, Johannes Auer, was born and baptized Nov. 27, 1739.

Severe economic conditions and lack of opportunity were surely motives.

John and Henry served with the militia during the war of 1812. Nicholas and Henry resided near Buckhannon. Sarah lived in Mason Co. and John crossed the Ohio into Meigs Co. Godfrey and Anna Maria probably remained near Buckhannon. John Godfrey's death was after July 1801 and Anna Maria about 1810. In 1780 Sigmon Our married Mary Simon.
