Peterjohann, Maria

Notes:

Birth:
The record of Maria's marriage in 1835 found in the archives of the church at Femme Osage, Missouri gives her age at that time as 25 years. This would indicate that she was born between 1809 and 1810. A Schoppenhorst family genealogy published in 1989 states that she was born in 1812; this is also the date recorded on her grave stone.

Immigration:
Maria made the journey to this country with her sister, Christine Elisabeth, wife of Adolph Heinrich Fiegenbaum. Apparently Maria emigrated without authorization.

Maria was buried in the Schoppenhorst family cemetery.
