I may be able to help. This sounds like Anna Maria SWAIN.
I have an obit for Anna Maria SWAIN.
Jan. 5th, in Branch County., Mich., of a lingering illness, Anna Maria SWAIN, aged 86 years, 10 months and 28 days. Her maiden name was KELLER. On the 9th of May, 1819, she married Elias SWAIN. She was the mother of 10 children, and leaves 32 grand-children and 32 great-grand-children. She became a member of the Reformed Church in Reading Pa., in 1810 and in 1870 she united with the Mennonite Church, and has been a faithful member. For some time before her death she made it a custom to pray every evening when the sun set. She seemed to have good hope in Jesus, was resigned to the will of God and trusted in His mercy. She said to the writer a short time before her death, "Was auf Gott vertraunt Der hat wohl gebaut In Himmel und auf Erden." Services by J.F. Funk, of Elkhart.
She is buried next to her son, David Link, in Branch Co. Michigan.I have notes written by Pearl McMillan showing the family tree including David LINK as a "Natural Son."
Looks more like she was a widow or left Conrad.
