"Her nickname was Merrilas which is a pet name for Elizabet h. It wasin 1782 that the executors, Peter Drach and Phili p Schryer finally deeded the two tracts of land to Adam an d Henry and they jointly to each other so that each shoul d have a clear title. This indicates that Merilas died prio r to 1782. She was the daughter of Johann David Diefenbach . Her first child was born in Germany but the remaining chi ldren were probably born in Pennsylvania."

Nephew Rudolph and sister (?) came to America in 1754.
