Biography

She married Johannes Krieger on March 22, 1810. Records of the Moravians in North Carolina[1] 7:3126: Our auswärtige single Br. Johannes Krieger (son of Jacob) was married today by the justice to the single Elisabeth Spönhauer (daughter of Joh. Jacob) who does not belong to us.]

7:3157. Feb. 1, 1811, Bethania: Br. and Sr. Pfohl visited Br. and Sr. John Krieger, who live outside the town. Some weeks ago Sr. Krieger fell on the stone pavement in front of her house, and probably broke the bone in her thigh, so for a number of weeks she has not been able to stand, and because of severe pain was obliged to remain in bed. Now she can move around the room on two crutches.

They had three children before Johannes died of a fever in 1819 at age 32.

8:3892. July 10, 1829. Visited the widow Betsy Krieger, whose son Solomon is sick with diarrhea but seems to be improving.

8:3949. Nov. 1, 1830. Visited...the widow Betsy Krieger, whose son Timotheus broke his leg last Thursday. The bone has been set well and seems to show no unusual symptoms.

8:4193. Jan. 26, 1835. I visited the neighbor Sr. Betsy Krieger who lives with her family consisting of two sons and a daughter. All of them were in bed with the measles and there was no one to wait on them. Measles were brought into the neighborhood by travelers.

She is buried in Bethania Moravian God's Acre in Forsyth County NC.[2]
