Notes

Birth

Elizabeth Funk's birth day was given as the 3rd by Barbara Carter.

Marriage

14 April 1805 was given as the marriage date for Elizabeth Funk and Henry Newcomer, but this date is nine years after their first child's birth. It is also the approximate date that another Elizabeth Funk married Samuel Newcomer, brother of Henry Newcomer. Bishop Christian Newcomer, Henry uncle, performed the wedding ceremony.
