There is some confusion regarding Cadarina's birth date. Her grave marker indicates 1729 while birth and christening records in Ilbesheim, Zweibrücken, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany indicate 1724 [see Robert G. Fast, Nicklaus Fast of Göcklingen, Germany, 1994, p.15-16.]

Note: V and F are pronounced the same in Old German and were often written interchangeably. The "in" at the end of Vassin was a feminine suffix. Thus Vassin = Fass or Fast. (Notes from Wirt G. Faust and Robert G. Fast)
