Biography
Sarah was born in 1736, and married Sixtus Curtz in 1750. When he died in 1758, she promptly married Philip Krebs (later transliterated as Crabs), another German immigrant. Sarah died in 1808, and Philip apparently outlived her, documented alive as late as 1810.
As far as is known, her only child with Sixtus was Elizabeth; it is not clear why Elizabeth's birth is believed to be 1747, when Sarah is believed born in 1736, and married Sixtus only in 1750-1753. Additional investigation would be helpful here.
