Notes - I'm still bothered by the fact that her birth date in the baptism is differentfrom
that on the tombstone. The tombstone has at St Pauls has died 15 Aug 1855,
age 77-3-3, which works out to 12 May 1778 instead of 12 Feb 1777. At least
the "12" is right, and I could take being off a year, but with the month, too, I always
have a little doubt. Still, the baptism sponsorships strongly suggest the Dunkelberger
relation. Also, someone doing the math wrong may be explainable.
A possible sceneraio is that Magdalena, who was absent in the 1850 census,
had moved up to Shamokin area with grandson Benjamin Klock. When she
died, he buried her locally and may have been off on her birth date.
4/12/00 - I found the account records for Magdalena Klock in the Northumberland
County courthouse. Isaac Snyder was the administrator (he was married to Magdalena's
granddaughter Elizabeth). Inventory was done 14 Mar 1856. Various dispersements
were made, but uncertain what happened to remainder. See Orphan's Court
accounts 2:183
Will book 4:484, 15 Feb 1856 To Isaac Snyder (Letters of Admin I believe)
(Isaac is her grandson-in-law, she was probably living withthem at the time)
