"Maria Elisabetha, daughter of Hans Jost Heyd and his wife, Anna Maria, from Bonfeldt, was baptized January 2, 1708. The sponsors were Maria Agatha, wife of Andreas Berger at Bonfeldt; Anna Barbara, daughter of Stoffel Schwinden at Bonfeldt; and Maria Elisabetha, daughter of the late Ludwig Helmstatter at Bonfeldt."
According to German custom this child would have been called "Elisabetha" not Maria, which was only a prefix name, given to several other daughters of Jost Heid. Maria Elisabetha probably died as a child, possibly on the voyage and definitely by 1711 when Jost and Anna Maria had another daughter, they named "Elisabetha" and are listed in a 1712 "Subsistence list" as having only one child. Maria Elisabetha is almost certainly not "Mary" wife of George Bowman, whose wife's name was in fact, "Anna Maria."
