• Notes

  Married first to Mary Stief in 1843. After her death, he married Rebecca (Luft) Freeman, the widow of Moses Freeman. Inscription Wm. Gottshall, husband of Rebecca Freeman, born Jan. 21, 1824, died Mar. 7, 1872, aged 47 yrs, 3 m. 13 das. [This is an early 1940s transcription which may or may not be correct since the stone was already old by that time. Death date is about right since some probate records were in May 1872. Using the age, the calculated birth would be in Nov 1824.]
