I'm looking for any kind of information at all on Christiana Branson who married Thomas Rowles, 2 Feb 1787 at the Zion German Lutheran Church in Baltimore. (Is Branson a German-origin name? Rowles is English.) There were a number of Rowles families in and around Baltimore, and Rowles researchers have information on most of them -- but nothing at all on this Branson connection. Christiana apparently was born in 1756, which would make her 31 at the time of her marriage. So she may have been married before; Branson may have been a first husband's name, not her own maiden name. Thomas & Christiana moved to Steuben Co, New York about 1793 (enticed by a land company), and she died there 25 Jul 1803. Her grave marker (the first in the town's new cemetery) says "age 47 years." I have found only one Branson with a Baltimore connection (William, in the 1790 census), and a few in St. Marys County and Charles County. Any sort of lead to further information on Christiana or a Branson family in Baltimore in the 1750s would be greatly appreciated.
