50Data on this Stuber family was supplied by Dr. von Frank for the author, and includes transcripts of
the pertinent records and translations made by him. The village of Offenbach on the Glan, a tributary of the
Nahe, is about 15 miles northwest of Kaiserslautern.

54A transcript of the St. Thomas' Cemetery inscriptions is in the Genealogical Department of the
Bethlehem, Pa. Public Library. The inscription in this record states Johann J. Stuver was
married 49 years and had 9 sons and 3 daughters, but original estate papers in Orphans Court File #6435 list
only 7 sons, a number which agrees with an account written by one of his granddaughters in the
author's possession.
