She was born in America, in the state of Pennslyvania, in the county of Berks, in the township of Macedonia. The sponsors were John Bieber and his wife Elizabeth." Daniel Lehman was one of the early pastors of St. John's Lutheran Church in Kutztown. John Bieber, the sponsor, was apparently a son of a first cousin of John Bieber. Elizabeth's father was Abraham, who was born in Germany. She had a brother named Dewalt.
