Notes for Henry L. Brubaker Sr.
Most of my information on this family from correspondence with Esther Kemp of Canada. She has the date for Henry & Elizabeth's marriage as 19 March 1795; Lowell Beachler has it as 24 March 1795. Most likely one date is from a marriage bond and the other is from a minister's return. In these situations, the later date is more usually correct, so I will enter that one until I can examine the sources.
Notes for Saloma Eller
Esther Kemp has her name as Sarah Eller but her sources are secondary; Lowell Beachler gives it as Saloma, citing her tombstone, obituary, and some old records he found in a courthouse in Fincastle, Virginia. He also writes "this Saloma died in Virden-Girard, Illinois, area where she was visiting, and was buried in the old Brubaker Cemetery in Peters Creek area near Roanoke, Virginia. Have seen her grave a number of times."
