They were in Longswamp so I think Eve is a good candidate to be Frederick (1739) Braun's wife. Eve's dob is given as abt 1736. If we had firm dob and dod for Louisa Strauch Foust Braun and also for Frederick's children, Michael, Elizabeth and Susanna (I have not been able to reconcile those given previously along with their respective spouses, having found dates not jiving and other ancestors for those with similiar names--esp Michael), I think we could determine which children were Eve's and which Louisa's and which (like Benjamin 1787) may have been from a third wife. Post thoughts, please. Sue Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
