  • Notes 
    • According to source , Maria was an out-of-wedlock daughter of her mother Katharina.

      “Mary was born in Meininger, Germany; and came with her mother, Catherine Heiser (1814-1891) to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and later to Trenton, Butler County, Ohio where she and Peter married on May 23, 1856. She and Peter lived there until 1869 when they moved to McLean County, Illinois and settled near Danvers, Illinois. 

      Mary's grandfather, the Reverend Jacob Augspurger (1786-1846) was ordained a Bishop in 1830, and was one the first Mennonite ministers in Butler County, Ohio. Reverend Jacob Augspurger performed the marriage of his son Jacob Augspurger (1813-1867) to Catherine Heiser on July 29, 1838 in Madison Township, Butler County, Ohio. Jacob then adopted Marie "Mary" A. Heiser, in addition to Jacob and Catherine having eight children of their own. 

      Maria "Mary" A. Augspurger came from a very prominent group of immigrants that were both farmers and leaders in the religious community in America. The patriarch of the Augspurger Family was Christian Augspurger (1782-1848). Mary's grandfather, the Reverend Jacob Augspurger (1786-1846) was one of the first Mennonite ministers in Butler County, Ohio; and was ordained a Bishop in the church in 1830. He was the second cousin of Christian Augspurger, and both of those family lines had numerous other sons who were prominent ministers in both the Amish Mennonite and Hessian Mennonite (Apostolic Mennonite Society) branches of the church.”, [2, 3, 4]
