He left no male heirs, but four daughters: Agnes, who married Henry Utterback; Elisabeth, who married Stephen Hatzenbiller; Mary Gertrude, who married Jacob Neusebwander and Catherine, who married Christopher Windler.

brief biography

Maria Els (Mary Elisabeth) was the daughter of Philipp and Elsbeth Fischbach. She was christened in 1687 at Trupbach. Her godmother was Elisabeth, wife of Hermann Otterbach the 1714 colonist. Mary Elisabeth immigrated to the Virginia colony with her parents. She had a younger sister who was given the identical first and last names as she, born almost ten years later. There is no indication of how the family distinguished the two sisters.

Death

From Holtzclaw, Dr. B. C., Germanna Record No. 5: Ancestry and Descendants of the Nassau-Siegen Immigrants to Virginia 1714-1750, (Culpeper, Virginia, The Memorial Foundation of the Germanna Colonies in Virginia, Inc., 1964) 54,55.

Maria Elisabeth (Fischbach) Brombach/Brumback died prior to 28 Jul 1746 at Germantown, Prince William County, Virginina (present day Fauquier County, Virginia. We know this because a deed dated 28 Jul 1746 for land at Germantown that belonged to Melchior Brombach/Brumback and was left to the children of Melchior and Maria Elisabeth (Fischbach) Brumback:

• 1. Elizabeth Brumback wife of Stephen Hatzenbiller/Hotsinpiller

• 3. Catherine Brumback, wife of Christopher Windle

Birth surname has also been erroneously reported to be Fishbach.

Given name has also been (erroneously?) reported to be Mary Elizabeth.

• April 7, 1696 at Trupbach, Nassau-Siegen, Westphalia (now North Rhine-Westphalia), Germany
• April 1697 at Trupbach, Nassau-Siegen, Westphalia (now North Rhine-Westphalia), Germany

Date and place of baptism have also been (erroneously?) reported to be April 3, 1697 at Trupbach, Nassau-Siegen, Westphalia (now North Rhine-Westphalia), Germany.

Date and place of death have also been (erroneously?) reported to be before 1745 at Germantown, Fauquier County, Virginia.
