Mary B. Elrod Notes 

(Daughter of Christopher Elrod and Aaltje Soelle)

 Mary never married.  She lived in Moravian Sisters Home.
MARY ELROD MEMOIRS: She was baptized as an infant by Lutheran Minister.  
She joined the Hope Moravian Church in 1780, and on April 5 1786, she 
entered Single Sister Home and on July 25th 1786 she was received as a 
member of congregation and on November 25, 1786 she was admitted as a 
partaker of Holy Sacrament.  She lived very peaceably with the sisters.  
She was mistress of weaving there, and when she retired from this, she 
became hostess of Sisters Home.  She had rheumatism, and other sickness.  
She became ill on October 8th and died on October 14th, 1819 at 8:00 PM, 
while her parents and sisters were in the room singing hymns.  She was 
buried Salem North Carolina. Her Will is in Book 3, page 39, Stokes Co 
NC - Danbury Courthouse.  She wrote her Will August 14, 1816.  She left 
her possessions to her brothers and sisters, neices and nephews, cousins,
etc.  One separate item interested me, she gave one pocket handkerchief 
to each sister and brother.
