Burial

Burial:

Place: Zeiglar's Church, Cumberland Co PA

Dates are from her gravestone.

Both her birthdate and that of Anna Maria Sloop are approximations. Gravestones are not definitive and Anna Maria's prfile gives no source for her birthdate.

Note

There was an Elizabeth Albrecht born in Berks Co PA in the same year, but not the same date, as this Elizabeth. She was the daughter of Juerg Wilhelm and Catherina Albrecht.

She was not Elizabeth Sparrow. That is a mistake which inadvertently had its origin with us. In whatever way Edward Amandus Alvis believed himself to be related to Abraham Lincoln, it was not through this lady. An enthusiastic young researcher who corresponded with my mother in the late 1970s took our family tradition, which was not even identified with the Ramps, and added the name Sparrow to this Elizabeth.
