The following is from memorial created for one of Christopher and Elizabeth's infant twin sons:
"I believe they had fifteen children, which included the set of twins. Children were frequently named after parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and older brothers and sisters who had died. It could all be very confusing for those of us trying to establish members of the family later on, especially when over 200 years had passed and the family name had been altered by so many people who didn't understand an accent or read a double ss correctly, etc. I have the following children listed as having been born from the marriage of Christopher and Elisabeth Hobbs Burkhardt:
1.George Frederick, b.1782, d.1864 in Howard, Missouri.
