Elizabeth was the youngest daughter of Johann Heinrich Zeller and Anna Marie Bruegel. Her father's family were among the thousands of French and German Protestants who fled religious prosecution in their homeland between 1708 and 1720. The Zellers migrated first to Holland, where her father met and married her mother, then to England, and finally to the American colonies in 1710. They lived for a few years in rural New York (Livingston Manor and Schoharie) before eventually settling in the Tulpehocken Valley in Pennsylvania in 1723 (in what is now Berks County).
Elizabeth married Johann Adam Batdorf in 1745 in Tulpehocken Pennsylvania.
Adam died in 1757, and Elizabeth married Johann Leonard Schwartz in 1758.
A petition filed with the Berks County Orphans Court in 1759 states that Elizabeth and Adam had seven children:
- John George 1746
- Martin 1747 *
- John Peter 1749
- Andrew 1751
- Eva Elizabeth 1753
- John Henry 1754 *
- Simon 1756 *
Elizabeth and Leonard both died in 1803 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Help in finding their graves would be appreciated.
Probate records from 1803 show that Elizabeth and Leonard had five children:
- John 1759 (deceased)
- Henry Ludwig 1761
- Barbara 1762 (wife of John Lesher, Jr.)
- Catherine 1764 (wife of Adam Regel)
- Anna Maria 1766 (wife of Henry Krim)
* Descendants of these children have been linked by DNA testing.
