Elizabeth Fishback the daughter of John Fishback, who was one of the original emigrants from Nassau Siegen. She was born on the 13th day of February 1723 at Germantown and was married to my father the 7th day of September 1738 under 16 years of age. She was rather below the middle stature, and of a fair complection. The features of her face were good, an innocent eye, fair or light yellow hair, a fine suit of it, and the law of kindness was on her tongue. I recollect her well. The wife the mother friend and neighbor, shown to the best advantage in her, while she lived. She was remote from whatever was or had the appearance of parade or affectation, and equally remote from neglect or inattention where the contrary was required or necessary. To sum up her character in a word, she was the accomplished wife, not indeed in the eyes of the World, but in the view of all genuine goodness and worth …. She died the 21st day of February 1768."
