Christina was the wife of Daniel Neff [B7] 1725-1768. Traveled to Huntingdon Co., PA in the late 1780's or early 1790's with her sons Henry, John and Jacob Neff. These original Neff settlers were Mennonite from Lancaster Co., PA, Manor Township.
Tombstone, very difficult to read in 1986:
From family notes and letters, her original grave marker was a "field stone" which was replace in early 1800's with a marker in Swiss German as follows:
INSCRIPTION:
Christina Neffin
Gebohren Erb
Gestorben Mertz 11, 1806
73 Jahre alt
Translation:
Christina Neff
Born Erb
Died 11 March 1806 73 years
This is the earliest known burial in the Neff Cemetery.
In 1834 the family replaced her memorial with a new stone purchased in Huntingdon. The inscription was changed to English. (see history of the cemetery)
