Ursula was baptized 4 May 1778 in Kirche St. Niklaus, Lausen, Canton Basel Switzerland. She died 9 Oct 1830 or 1836 in Tuscarawas County, Ohio (probably Fry's Valley).
In 1816, she, her husband Martin, and 3 children (John, Martin, and Ursula) came to America via Philadelphia PA aboard the Broderschap. According to the Staatsarchiv des Kantons Basel-Landschaft (in Liestal), the family had departed Switzerland 8 April 1816.
According to the diary of Jacob Rauschenberger, Moravian paster of Gnadenhuten, Beersheba, and Sharon, on the 24th of September 1816, "The married Keiser arrived from Switzerland, from the Canton of Basel, coming to his relatives in this area." (NOTE: I believe they came to Ursula's brother Johannes "John" Tschudy/Tschudi/Judy, and her father by the same name, and not to any of Martin's relatives)
Later in his diary, the pastor notes that on the 26th of May 1817, "the married Bro. Martin and Sr. Ursula Keyser were fist-time participants with us in communion."
They were associated with the Moravian church for many years, as were many of their descendents.
NOTE: There are many spellings used the surname: Keiser, Kiser, Kaiser, Keyser, etc. Earliest records used Keiser the most, later some lines became Kiser but most became Kaiser.
