She married Benjamin Sperry. I've had many different opinions offered on this but the one that seems most likely is Jacob Becker/Baker m to Maria Barbara Meisner and he the son on Johann Andreas sometimes known as John andrew or just Andrew. I've yet to check the Meisner trees to see if anyone has taken that family connection down into the next generation. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
