Location Information

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comt%C3%A9_de_Dabo Walschied depended on the seigneurial bailiwick of Dabo The county was possession of the counts of Leiningen in the 13th century until 1680, later the castle and the county were united in Alsace. The Treaty of Ryswick of 1697 returned the county to the Linange-Dabo. They kept it until 1793. So based this note I am listing he location as Walscheid, Alsace, France. Today it is in Moselle as part of the Grand Est region which encompasses the historic area of Lorraine.

We believe her death took place in France but are not positive. It is also possible she moved to Germany or elsewhere. This area of France is close to the German border and a lot of family moved back and forth among a variety of glassmaking communities.
