Elizabeth Clemmens (KOLB) REIFF, married to David Godshalk Bergey is Elizabeth Clemens Reiff. She first married a John Kolb who died (unsure of date) and left her a widow (without children as far as I know). She then married David Bergey and had five children, Mary, Helena, Godshalk, George R, and Jacob. I am descended from Geroge R. I realize from the information you sent me that David Bergey and Elizabeth Clemens Reiff were in fact Second cousins David Bergey's maternal grand mother was Sarah Hunsicker and Elizabeth Reiff's maternal grand mother was Catherine Hunsicker who were sisters (parents were Valentine Hunsicker and Elizabeth Kolb).
