Born Elisabethae Hetzges to Nicolaus Hetzges & Magdalenae Busch. Nicolaus and Magdalena had two different daughters named Elisabetha. The first Elisabetha was baptized 12 February 1830 and the second Elisabetha was baptized 6 September 1838. So presumably the second Elisabetha is this Elisabeth Hetzges Thielen, with the birth year incorrect on the gravestone.
Making matters harden to determine Elisabeth's birth year are her New York passenger list that lists birth year as 1836, and various census reports with Elisabeth's birth dates ranging from 1831 - 1842.
Some records state surname as Hetzges or Hitzges.
