Notes for Maria Elisabeth Gravius: The correct spelling of the Gravius name is relatively certain. However, the records are hard to read. The records from Maria Elisabetha's home town of Medard, seem to indicate the it may be Graffinsen, Gravinsen, Gravins, or other possibilities. Research in the current German telephone directory reveals several residents of Medard and nearby Meisenheim with the surname of Gravius, so that is the assumed correct spelling. Birth was recorded in the Medard Evang. Church Registry; Date: 18 May 1760; Child's Name: Maria Elisabetha Gravius; Father: Nickol Gravius (deceased) of Medard; Mother: Maria Elisabetha.
This is still a little doubt that this is the correct birth record; due to the confusion of the spelling of the last name and the number of Maria Elisabethas born in Medard, this birth should be verified.
