Facts and Events
Christine had been baptized Christina Engle at the First German and English Presbyterian Church (S3) in Knowlton Township, New Jersey. Christine could speak and read German. In 1794 as she and her husband left for Canada her mother gave her a Bible written in German (S1). Christine's epitaph appears to have been cut on the same stone and at the same time as that of her husband. This was probably after Daniel's death in 1853. There are two very significant errors in their epitaphs (S4). Their surname is misspelled Cummings instead of Cummins. Daniel consistently signed his name Cummins throughout his life as did his father. Her age as written, leads to a birthdate which is different from the family bible and from her published obituary. These stone cutter's errors have confounded genealogist for over 160 years. References
