  3. Chortitza Colony Deaths: Recorded in the Diaries of Jacob Wall (1832-53) and David Epp (1837-43), extracted by.

    '1838, July 21, Franz Thiessen's wife Gertrude. 70 years, 2 months and 14 days.
    1st marriage: 19 years, 4 sons and 6 dau. 3 daughters have died;
    2nd marriage: 26 years, no children.'

    David Epp, the writer of the diary, seems not to have known that Gertrude was married 3 times, and that 2 (or 3) of her Wall children were actually her step-children. She had (2 or) 3 sons and 5 daughters from her first 2 marriages, plus 1 (or 2) step-sons and 1 step-daughter from her second marriage. Her second marriage was less than 19 years long (no earlier than 1795 to no later than 1812), so probably her first two marriages totaled 19 years.

    The discrepancy of 12 days in her age at death could be explained by the differences in calendars used by Prussia (Gregorian) and Russia (Julian).
