I've seen Maria Barbara's maiden name listed as BAUER but have not seen any proof of this. Do you have a source for her maiden name? No this is what I found online so far and thought it was interesting to think about at the very least. I am in the process of seeing what I can find that is verified on this. I'll also add that I looked over what I have recorded so far and with my deepest apologies I have no clue where I even found that 1730 marriage info! Thanks again! Ella
