• Notes

  Name Variation: Margaretha went by Margaret in the United States. She was born in Germany with the name of Margaretha. Birth Variation: Margaretha is listed as being born in 1818 in the 1850 Census; 1817 in the 1860, 1870 & 1880 Census, In the 1870 Census Margaretha is listed as being born in Prussia, Occupation: Margaretha is listed as being a Housekeeper in the 1870 & 1880 Census. General Notes: Find a Grave has Margaretha being born in Bern, Verwaltungskreis Bern-Mittelland, Bern, Switzerland. I see no records to indicate this as she was married in Germany and her last name is also Disque not Dresway as Find a grave states. Documents prove that they were married in Germany. I also decided to mark it as being Marginal Evidence due to the fact that the birth place they have listed is highly unlikely and that her maiden last name on findagrave is incorrect.
