Elizabeth Bucher 1 2
Her tombstone reads: Zum andenken an Elisabeth Ehrel frau von Daniel Brubacher, geboren June 25, 1785 Starb Sept. 25, alter 73 Yahre 8 mo. Selig sind die un gerechkgeit willen verfolget werden dem das hummelreich ist thr. Matt. 5 10.
• Alt. Birth, 27 Feb 1783, , Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA. Some sources incorrectly quote her date of birth in 1783, while her tombstone lists the year as 1785. • Alt. Birth, 25 Jan 1785, , Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA. Her tombstone lists her birth as June 25, 1785 and her death as simply as Sept. 25 age 73 years 8 months. Adding that to her birth results in 25 Feb 1859, obviously not probable. On the other hand, if we subtract 73 years 8 months from 25 Sep 1858 we get 25 Jan 1785. Did the person recording her death from the tombstone mistake Jun for Jan given how worn the lettering is? Elizabeth married Daniel Brubaker about 1805. (Daniel Brubaker was born on 12 Jul 1783 in Elizabeth Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA, christened on 15 Jul 1783, died on 21 Jan 1863 in , Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA and was buried on 24 Jan 1863 in Warwick Township: Bomberger's Burial Ground, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA.) |
