George WERTMAN
Leah STROUP

Husband: George⁴ WERTMAN
Birth: 1800, PA
Death/Burial: 2 Jun 1858
Disposition: buried Pine Street Lutheran Church, Danville, Montour Co., PA
Occupation: laborer
Father: John³ WERTMAN [Michael², George Philip¹]

Marriage:

Wife: Leah STROUP
Birth (according to 1850 census): 1804/5, PA
Birth (according to tombstone): 5 Jan 1808
Death: 31 Jul 1878, Danville, Mahoning Twp., Montour Co., PA
Disposition: buried Trinity Lutheran Church, Danville, Mahoning Twp., Montour Co., PA

There are only two families in Montour County with the possibility of being Leah's parents (both have unaccounted-for daughters Leah's age). Based on proximity and other factors, these are the most likely parents for Leah:
Father possibly: Joseph STRAUB
Mother possibly: Barbara __?__

The other potential couple is: (Johann) Adam STRAUB & (Maria) Catharina HEILMAN

(Leah appears to have shaved a few years off her age along the way, so her tombstone gives a later birthyear than was probably true.)
