Birth year taken from tombstone. Birth year from imm record was 1803. From 1860 census, 1800. From 1870 census, 1796. It seems that she was sensitive to being 9 years older than husband and that this concern faded with age. Her marriage to Christoph may have been her second. One genealogy indicated her maiden name was Trum or Trump and she married Friedrick Radecker in 1816 in Bavaria - but this is very unlikely to be her as Bavaria is over 300 miles from Belle.

Lippe Emmigrants website gives her name as Radeker (with the two dots voer the “a”. It also includes (Eliza) as a second name or a nickname but this could have been copied from Find-A-Grave (which is where the cemetery info surely comes from).

This website also lists lots of Radekers who emmigranted from Lippe to US and almost all of them are from Heesten which is 5 or 6 miles from Belle.

Possible parents:

Johann Friedrich Radeker married Ilsabein Koelker 12/4/1764 in Heeston

they had Anna Maria Radeker (b 4/9/1792, Bad Meinberg)

Possible brother: Johan Berend Radeker (b 2/23/1790)
