I don't know where I obtained this information, such as it is, about Maria Elisabetha Deiken.  It may have been in one of the Henry Z. Jones books on Palatine families (and the photocopies may be buried in my paper piles), or it may have been in online family trees.  There are several trees on Rootsweb Worldconnect with essentially the information I have above.
