Chuck,
Thank you for the history of the Garst/Rauch tombstone.No, I do not have evidence (other than circumstantial) that Magdalena was born some year after 1752.However, there are a number of church, cemetery, and court records from Dauphin/Lebanon County, indicating that all of John Rauch's surviving children (other than Magdalena herself) were born from 1760 on.That Magdalena was born eight years before her brother William (the second oldest) is a bit of a stretch unless there were circumstances that we know nothing about.Dwayne
