4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):   

Maria Barbara Wilhelm was born about 1740 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to Jacob and Catharina (--?--) Wilhelm, the fourth of five children.

On April 1, 1763, the Reverend John Waldschmidt, of the reformed faith, married Philip Jacob King and Maria Barbara Wilhelm, in the parlor of the bride's home, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania[1-2].  The marriage record in Lancaster church records says:

"KONIG, Philip Jacob, s. of Nicolaus Konig, and Maria Barbara, d. of Jacob Wilhelm; Apr. 1, 1763; in Jacob Wilhelm's house."  The minister was Rev. John Waldschmidt.

Philip Jacob and Maria Barbara (Wilhelm) Konig had seven children between 1763 and 1777 in York County, Pennsylvania[1].  The first four were baptized in the First Reformed (Trinity) church in York, and the last three were baptized in Manchester Lutheran  church.

The will of Jacob Wilhelm, father of Maria Barbara (Wilhelm) Konig, identifies Maria Barbara as the wife of Philip Jacob Konig, and bequeathed to her[3]:

*  a one-fifth share of his real and personal estate after the death of his wife, except for that property bequeathed to his three sons.
*  25 pounds each year out of the estate to be paid to her by her brothers, Philip Jacob and Adam.

There are no death or burial records for Maria Barbara (Wilhelm) Konig.  She probably died before 1779, probably in York, Pennsylvania.  Her husband, Philip Jacob Konig, married, secondly in about 1779 to Maria Catherina Ziegler.
