The year of birth would be approximately 1778 if the year of birth is inferred from her age 55 years at the time of her death according to the records of The First Reformed Church. That year is highly improbable, given the record of her marriage in 1786 since she would have been only 8 years of age at the time of her marriage. No authoritative documentation of the year of her birth has been found as of the date of creation of this memorial.

She was the daughter of Jonathan Combs.

Thanks to Loraine Ertelt for supplying the following information:

New Jersey Birth and Christening records as well as all other records indicate his first name as Geleyn. It is a family name and is spelled Geleyn in each generation His wife's surname is also listed as Coombs in all records.
