Eliza Sturgeon, the wife of Allen Sturgeon, was born 1794 and died Jan 1, 1848. So she was about 54. Her son, Richard, was excluded from this book. The Historical Sketch of Old Hanover Church, by Rev. Thomas H. Robinson, D.D., published in 1878 by the Historical Society of Dauphin County, page 42.
Allen Sturgeon married Eliza Snodgrass on Mar. 5, 1818 at Old Hanover Church per Page 27 of the above source.
I first suspected this Eliza or Eli died June 1748 or maybe 1743, but decided to use the dates from the above source, except using the June date I have enlarged, instead of January. I cannot read any dates for the son Richard.
