An undocumented birth date for her of 29 Dec 1799 has been recorded by others. There is no firm proof that Elizabeth is a daughter of David and Esther Mumma. All of David's brothers already have identified Elizabeths or other children born about the same time. Any information regarding this Elizabeth would be most appreciated. If she is not David's daughter, then Fanny is probably not his daughter. From the pre 1850 census, we know that David and Esther most likely had 5 female children in addition to the 3 males.
