  General Notes:

In the typewritten transcript of the church record for his daughter Magdalena's baptism, he is listed as "Michael Dows (Tobias)." Since other church records show Tobias family members and even a Michael Tobias it is likely Tobias.

Many researchers mistakenly state that Michael married Maria Magdalena Bucher instead of her sister, Anna Maria Bucher. The marriage record simply states Maria, leading to possible confusion. But when Michael and wife Maria baptize their daughter Magdalena two years after their marriage, Maria's sister Magdalena is listed as the sponsor, ending the confusion.


Michael married Anna Maria Bucher, daughter of Peter Bucher and Anna Maria, on 21 Jun 1801 in Stouchsburg: Christ Lutheran Church, Berks, PA.1 (Anna Maria Bucher was born on 14 Jan 1777 in , Lebanon, PA 2 3 4, christened on 6 Aug 1777 in Fredericksburg: St. John's Reformed & Lutheran Church, Lebanon, PA 2 3 4 and died in , Montgomery, OH.)
