Married about December 1760 (1) Widower, Johannes "Hans" Etter, at Pennsylvania.
Eva was received into the Donegal Moravian Church 23 November 1762; her first communion was given in June of 1764. The life story of Johannes and Eva is contained in the Church Records.
They had two children of record, Johannes 1762-1822 and Samuel 1765-1809. Eva was widowed in 1767 when Johannes died on 9 June.
According to records of the Donegal Moravian Church, Eva married again, about 1768 (2) Jeorg Peter Demler rather than to George Heinrich "Henry" Etter, as was earlier reported. (George Heinrich "Henry" Etter must have married an EVE unknown).
