Another source states that she was born in Germany. [Wittenberg, Germany.]

She was born in Germany, in the same state as her husband's father. In her journey to America, a young girl, and practically without accompanying relatives, she was eighteen weeks on the ocean.

She was from the canton of Kirchheimlanden, whence she came to America in 1817, when but twenty years old, all alone, without any relative or acquaintance on board the vessel.
