Disputed Spouse

"Magdalena Bauerin was NOT the wife of Peter Rambo [#12]. The name of his wife is entirely unknown. The will of Magdalena Bauerin leaves items to her GOD daughter Anna Rambo, the GRAND daughter of Peter Rambo [#12]. See RAMBO200.TXT [no longer online] for the will, estate papers, & eulogy of Magdalena Bauerin.[2] This rumor started when The Genealogical Society Of Pennsylvania published a book of Philadelphia estate abstracts including Magdalena Bauerin's estate and erroneously concluded the paragraph with the following words, "administration to Peter Rambo, son of Madelina Bowerin, deceased." The estate papers contain no such wording. Edna Vacher also published this error in 1947."[3]
