Notes for Maria Eva ELSASSER

Biographical Sketch (1932):3253 "Michael's wife was Maria Eva who was born Sept. 11, 1717; d. June 27, 1807, in Springfield Township of what is now Mahoning County, Ohio, near Petersburg. The inscription on her gravestone in the Old Lutheran Church Cemetery two miles north of that city reads:

Eva Mosser was born Sept. 11, 1717. For fifty years she was the wife of Michael Mosser, to whom she bore eleven children. She died June 27, 1807, and was buried June 29, 1807.*

Maria Eva went with her sons to Ohio in 1801, where she died and was buried in the cemetery mentioned above. Only seven of the eleven children are identified. Likely the others were daughters. In the exodus to Ohio and western Pennsylvania went most of the children of Michael and Maria Eva. (*Translated from the German by Belmont Farley with the help of Rev. Joel C. Krumlauf in 1931.)"
