Relationship notes

They married 5 Sep 1782.

 

Maria was born 18 Jun 1759. She was buried in Lower Burial Ground, Germantown, Pennsylvania.

[Mercy IV-96] notes she probably was the daughter of Johann Godfried & Philippena Catharine Bockius, a prominent Philadelphia family.

There also is a note that her headstone gives her date of death as 18 Jun 1759 at the age of 61. Since this is somewhat unlikely, [Mercy IV-96] assumes it is her birth date.
