Biography
Elizabeth Grabill was born in Lancaster County Pennsylvania in 1754 and married Johann Peter Holl. in 1771.
The father of Elizabeth appears to be Michael Grable (1706-1783) instead of Christian Grable. Findagrave.com and Family Search suggest her father as Christian Grable (Grebil-4), but more direct evidence to consider is lacking. On the other hand, Michael had a daughter, Elizabeth, mentioned in his will. Michael Grable’s son Shem married Susannah Grable, who was a first cousin to Elizabeth’s husband, John Peter Holl,
Elizabeth and Peter had five children: Ephraim, Elizabeth, Mary, Peter, and Daniel. She died several years after the birth of Daniel at the age of 33. She is buried in Middle Creek Brethren Cemetery in Lititz, Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

On the other hand, there is a daughter Elizabeth mentioned in the will of Michael Grable (1706-1783). Michael’s son Shem was married to Susannah Holl, daughter of Wendell Holl. Shem and his brother Michel (Jr.) appear in the will of Wendell Holl’s wife. According to History of the Holl-Schrantz Family, Susannah, who married Shem Grable, was a cousin of John Peter Holl, who was married to Elizabeth Grable. It is quite reasonable to assume Elizabeth Grable, spouse of John Peter Holl, to be one in the same as Elizabeth Grable, daughter of Michael Grable (1706-1783). For this reason, Elizabeth Greybill (Grabill-5) is reassigned from daughter of Grebil-4 to daughter of Michael Graybill, Krahenbuhl-71.
