Some researchers have confused Rosina Dellinger as George Dellinger's daughter. Instead she was George's granddaughter. Rosina was the daughter of Christian Dellinger and named in Christian's will.[1]
"Anna Rosina was born circa 1735/45 to Christian Dellinger (1718-1780) and Magdalene A Helsley (1723-1785); both from Germany. George [Lohnes] married Rosina sometime about 1764/66 and deed records indicate that over the next while the couple bought & sold land in Lower Milford Township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Their first son Jacob [Lohnes] was born in 1767.
George Adam and Rosina then migrated from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to Frederick County, Virginia, where two more children were born to them, (3) Margaret in 1769 and (4) Adam in 1771. Soon after the birth of Adam, the family of six moved to Shenandoah County, Virginia--where they again bought and sold land and multiplied their holdings over the next several years. : Another son, (5) George, was born in 1773. During the Revolutionary War, Rosina furnished Beef for the Patriot Army. She and Johan George had 7 children all born in Shenandoah Co, Virginia. Three of Johan & Rosina's sons married Helsley sisters."
Find A Grave contributor HyppeSyster states "I don't know if Rosina was buried here, but I've put her with her husband, where she belongs."

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Rosina by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Rosina:
Christian Dellinger's will names only one daughter named Rosina. Anna Rosina (Dellinger) Lohnas (1745-1814) and Rosina Dellinger (1744-1814) appear to be the same person, and the two profiles should be merged.
Christian's will names only one daughter named Rosina. If Anna Rosina (Dellinger) Lohnas (1745-1814) and Rosina Dellinger (1744-1814) are the same person, the two profiles should be merged.
