 Maria Magdalena Faber, daughter of Michael Faber and Sarah Meinhert.Born 14 Jun 1735 Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania, died ±. 1813 Friedberg, Rowan Co., Nc, approximately 78 years, buried Friedberg Cem. Davidson Co., Nc Danny Miller states that Maria Magdalena Muller died about 1800 or 1801 because in 1801 the heirs of Johannes Muller conducted several land transactions concerning their inheritance from their father's estate. Mr. Harvey Lineback's information states that the Friedberg Catalog for 1805 says that she was "now living with son Jonathan in Ashe County [NC]." Danny states that if this is true, then Maria Magdalena did not die until after 1805, probably in Ashe County, NC and she is probably buried in the Welch Cemetery at Clifton, the first of the Miller ancestresses to be buried there. Maria Magdalena would have been around 70 years old in 1805 and would have been a widow for 25 years.
