Regarding Surname:
3 variations of her maiden name were found in the baptismal records for her last four children, Broming/Bromy/Bronning. Broming was used twice, Bromy & Bronning were used one time each. No other records have ever been found to verify the correct spelling.
After some German research, I received this formation:
As a more convincing alternative would be the family Brohm in question. This family was established in 1750 and Seckmauern in the relevant period (late 18th and beginning 19th century) in the neighboring grove reason. Representatives of this family, large-Heubach are demonstrated. It should, furthermore, that it was still common at that time to use the feminine form of the surname. In our case, "Brohmin". And the more similar the names cited. [So a visit here in the Hessian State Archives could be helpful]
