Anna Maria was the only child of George and Margaret See/Zeh whose birth date is actually recorded. While he was visiting the Swatara settlement in today's Lebanon Co, Lutheran minister Rev. Stoever reported baptizing Anna Maria Zeh, b. Dec. 20, 1743, baptized Feb 2, 1744, the daughter of George Zeh. The sponsors, or godparents, were listed as Heinrich Dubbs and wife. On May 22, 1744, Rev. Stoever also entered the marriage of John Friederich Zeh "of Swatara" to Maria Ottilia Stemple, showing Friederich and George Zeh in the same settlement.
While Anna Maria is not listed by this name in Margarets 1757 will, a "Mary" is and this could be the same person as Germans often went by their middle names. If not, Anna Maria probably died before the will of Margaret see was written.
