Notes:
                   She was from Spring Garden when she was married.
History of York County states that she descended from the pioneer families of York County, and was aunt of Gen. A Hiestand Glatz.
I am not sure where she fits into the order.
Her will says that she had a granddaughter Georgette Wilson and a grandson William Koch (son of Thomas).
