NOTE -- There is a Find a Grave record for Maria Elisabetha Zimmerman Bruner, Find A Grave: Memorial #113607425, but it appears to be for Maria's daighter-in-law rather than Maria herself. This Maria could not have been born in 1761 since her son Elias was born in 1756 and her husband Johann was born in 1726. According to George Zimmerman's 1793 will, his daughter Mary Elisabeth married an Elias Bruner, so that Find a Grave record may be for Elias's wife rather than his mother.[1]
