• Notes

  Said by some, without proof, to have been a daughter of the Rev. Hans Herr, a leader of the first Mennonites in Lancaster County. Her surname is given as "Herr" on a modern memorial stone in the Martin/Weaver (Weaverland, also Weberthal) Cemetery in Earl Township, Lancaster County. Others have said that she may have been a member of the Guth family, other daughters of which are known to have married relatives of Hans Weber.
