    • _UID: C3B12D3EC8E8479D9BA144EF478ADC2AB9EC

    Notes:

    the baptism at Falckner Swamp, New Hanover says her name is Maria Catharine,
    but I'm pretty sure it's really this "Maria". Perhaps the Catharine was confused
    with the sponsor's name.

    the entry in the will book in Reading and the will abstracts is wrong. She and
    her sister married Adam Frey. That is obvious from the church records at Oley Hill
    as well as the estate records for Adam Frey. Closer inspection of the original German
    will of Jacob Herb shows that the name there really is Adam Frey.

    Maria married John Adam FREY Bef 1799, Berks Co, PA. John was born 10 Aug 1766, Berks Co, PA; died Nov 1802, District Twp, Berks Co, PA. [Group Sheet]
