Advisory on Parentage of Elizabeth Stoner

John Stoner and Catharina Ramsburg are sometimes shown (with seeming conviction) as the parents of Elizabeth Stoner, wife of Capt Henry Rhoads, but this appears to be in error. John Stoner and Catherine Ramsburg's children were not born until abt. 1756, making it extremely problematic for Elizabeth (b. 1744) as their daughter. Because Elizabeth was clearly too old to have been a daughter of John Stoner, she is more likely a daughter of Jacob Steiner and Magdalene, and probable younger sister of John Stoner. (Note: Jacob Steiner died without will (intestate)).
