[PABERKS] M. Magdalen Grett - (B:15 Jan 1780 - D:9 Jan 1839) ...again
M. Bush
Michelle, Sorry for the last scrambled message. The interesting thing about Magdalen and Henry is their religion differences. Magdalen was raised Catholic while Henry was a Lutheran. Their first child Rebecca was baptized in the Catholic Church but I did not find record of any of the other children being done so. Henry and three of the children are buried in St. John’s Church Cemetery, Pricetown, PA. Benjamin, the oldest son, is buried in what once was Salem Evangelical Church in Pricetown, PA. As indicated below Magdalen was buried in Most Blessed Sacrament Church Cemetery, Bally, PA. Burial information - The following tombstone inscription was found on findagrave.com Magdalen Greath Bush, Birth: Jan. 15, 1780, Death Jan. 9, 1839, Wife of Henry Bush, Aged 58 Years, 11 Months, 24 Days Most Blessed Sacrament Church Cemetery, Bally Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA Plot a-15-3-26 as Created by: Joseph, Record added: Jan 31, 2009, Find A Grave Memorial# 33423299 Baptism information - GRETT, M.
