From the book "Counting Kindred", I have a listing for Mary Eve Heckendorn, b. 1/24/1788; d. 9/14/1885; aged 97 years, 7 mo., 20 days; m. (1) Mr. Carl, d. aft. 1810; (2) Simon Moses, b. 11/25/1777; d. 2/21/1860. Mary was buried at Duncannon, PA on a hill overlooking the Susquehanna River, as she lived with a son in Duncannon; Simon Moses was buried at Landisburg, PA.

The Moses family is of Swiss ancestry. Simon, a son of Jno. Moses, born in Switzerland.. He was a toolmaker by trade, having made tools for the Revolutionary Army. Simon was born in Landisburg, PA.

It appears that Mary had two daughters to Mr. Carl - Mary and Susan Carl - before becoming a widow and marrying Simon Moses.

The Moses children appear to be Eliza, Daniel, Frances, Sarah, Joseph, Levi, Andrew, Samuel, David and Lydia.
