[NOTE: There are two sources which indicate additional information about this person, the Kanton Kukkus List and the Peter Bitter Chart. Each shows a slight difference in birth years and name spelling, but has the same spouse. Anna Catharina who married Karl Eckhardt. Katharina (b1749 ,Arheilgen, Darmstadt, Hessen, Germany) (sources: Pleve Chart, Einwanderung, and Kanton Kukkus list) - probably Elisabetha Katharina Bitter married to Karl Eckhardt (B1752). This means there are three names - Anna Catharina, Katharina, and Elisabetha Katharina married to the same Karl Eckhardt.]
