Anna Ursula Spanknable (1772-1831)

Anna Ursula Spanknable is the daughter of Johannes Spanknable and Elizabeth Kring. Also known as Ursula, she was born (17 Feb 17717) 17 Feb 1772 from Johannes bible and a newspaper article as reported on a previous blog about Johannes ( http://simplygenealogy.blogspot.com/2015/04/476-johannes-spanknable-1747-1825.html). She married Wilhelm (William) Smith on 26 April 178967 William was born 19 May 17637 in Canajoharie, Albany, New York7 (per his Revolutionary Pension file)

Ursula died 22 Sept 18317 and is buried in Dillaborough Cemetery, Lassellsville, Fulton County, NY, USA. She was 59 years, 7 months and 5 days old. William died on 22 May 18527 and is also buried in Dillaborough Cemetery. William was a soldier of the Revolution. Age at death was 92 years and 19 days.

You will notice some conflicts of information in the above summary such as: When was Daniel Smith born?  When was Christopher Smith born? These still need to be resolved, however, I am putting these on my back burner until I get back to this generation. I will be researching all of Johannes Spanknable's children first, then I will do his grandchildren. What I do know is that I only had one known child for Ursula and William and now I have eleven.
