Biography
Magdalena was born between 1760 and 1765 (derived from ages given in 1810 and 1830 censuses). She passed away after 1830.
Her daughter Rebecca reported in 1880 census that her mother was born in Virginia. Her daughter Salome was enumerated twice in this census, once giving her mother's birthplace as Virginia and once giving it as Maryland.

Quite a few family trees online have recorded the maiden name of Jacob Eller's wife as Peters (as seen in the Peters-13877 entry). However it is my understanding that no documentation exists to prove this, and may have originally arisen as a confusion with Magdalene's grandson Jacob and his wife, named Magdalene Peters.
