Margaret Gerberich is believed to have been born prior to 1770, and consequently in Tulpehocken Twp., Berks Co., Pa. She married George Bailey, and lived in the vicinity of Glen Rock, Pa. She had the following children living at the time that Peter Gerberich's will was probated (1805): Peter, John, Jacob, Eve,Elizabeth, and Margaret. [perhaps Eve Elizabeth was one name]
