Biography
Ann is reported to have been the daughter of Jacob Oberholtzer, who arrived in North America with his family c.1725, and settled in Montgomery County, PA, near Indian Creek. Ann married Matthias Stauffer.[1]
Notes
Assuming that Jacob and his family were Mennonites, and that they were of Swiss origin, it is likely that they had left Switzerland well before Ann's birth, and that she was born in the German Palatinate.

Oberholtzer-37 and Oberholtzer-16 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate wife of Matthias Stauffer. The place of birth must be clarified, but these are clearly the same individual.
