#68555 Maudelena Gettig ( Christopher Gettig◊ )

Other names for Maudelena: Magdalena Gettig.

Maudelena was born Bef 1776.

While the spelling here is as found in her father's will, I wonder if the registrar recording the information misheard Magdalena pronounced with a heavy German accent.

There are two entries for a Mrs. Gettig on the 1800 Census for Sunbury, Northumberland Co., Pennsylvania. One is likely Maudelena — her father bequeathed her a house of her own when he died — and the other is probably her mother.
