Patricia. I found a listing for a transcription of a tombstone located in St. Nicholas
cemetary for an Anna Maria Ghandling which I believe is actually Peter's first wife.
I think this was a mistake on the part of the transcriber of a stone which at the time was
about 80 years old or on the part of the person who made the marker. She died 24 Sep
1856, aged 20 years 4 months, wife of Peter. You have to keep in mind that in those days
a lot of the people were relatively illiterate and some could not even spell their own
names. You only have to look at the censuses thru the ages to know this.
