DEATHS
"In Piermont, January 30th, Ella, aged 2 years, 6 months and 28 days, and on February 3rd, Christina, aged 4 years, 2 months and 25 days, both daughters of John and Christina Leitner.
We lay thee in the silent tomb,
Sweet blossom of a day,
We just began to view thy bloom,
When thou art called away.
Fold her pale hands o'er her pure little breast,
We weep not at parting, my darling's at rest;
Kiss her brow softly and bid her farewell,
She has gone to her sister, in heaven with Jesus to dwell."

On April 29th 1874 an Anna M. Lang married Richard Wood in Piermont. According to census records, Mr. Wood had been born in Prussia (Preußen) and Anna in Bavaria (Bayern). They had two sons, John Roger and Charles.

In 1878:
"A motion was made on the part'of a Mr. Wood of Piermont, to continue the recognizances of John Leitner and his wife to keep the peace. They having been held by Esqr. Stephens, on a charge of threatening injury to the complainant- by using the language of "I'll fix you" -growing out of a family difficulty, they being brother-in-laws. Both Leitner and his wife denying the imputation on oath. Mr. Hoffman for complainant, and Mr. Fallon for the defendants, conducted the controversy in a very spirited manner. The Court denied the motion, and the defendauts were discharged."

Mr. Wood of Piermont was noted to be a brother-in-law of Mr. Leitner. This suggests that Anna M. (nee Lang) Wood and Christina (nee Lang) were sisters, and not cousins. A Mr. Hoffman represented the complainant. According to one birth record for Mrs. Leitner in Nuremburg, her mother's maiden name was also Hoffman. Might Mr. Hoffman have been a relation to the Lang sisters?
The grave of John Long, Memorial #137066246, only son of John and Maria Long of Bavaria, is right next to the Leitner plot. John's sister of Piermont, Martalina Long (Anna M. who later married Richard Wood would have been too young to be this sister), is mentioned in an article about the injury causing his death. Could this "Johann Lang" also be related to Christina Leitner?
Christina's granddaughter, Betty, claimed Christina's maiden name had been Ulrich. However, on the burial record of her son, George, Christia's maiden name was listed as Lang, a common German surname often translated to 'Long' in America.
Christina's great-grandaughter, Maudie, felt certain Christina's family came from Alsace. All U.S. records however state that she AND her parents were born in Bavaria.
In 1803 and 1818 King Max I of Bavaria passed edicts encouraging refugees from left-Rhine areas who belonged to the Evangelical Church (a union of Lutheran and Reformed churches) to come to Bavaria. Many of them were Alsatians, for example Daniel Walter's family was among 120 families from Rhineland-Palatinate and Alsace who settled in Fränking, Senkenschlag, Kemmoden, Kleinschwabhausen, Lanzenried in 1800. With the Treaty of Paris (1815) some areas of Alsace were turned over to Bavaria.
The only Bavarian record found to date with the same birthdate as the one listed on Christina's gravestone in Sparkill, Rockland County, New York is for a Sophie Luisa Friederika CHRISTINA Susanna Lang
