George Slipp of Hampstead, N.B., told Rick Crume in 1993 that Elizabeth (Ryson) Slipp’s mother, Catherine was buried in the Slipp/Merritt Cemetery at Queenstown, Queens County, N.B., along with Leonard and Elizabeth. Rick thinks he said Catherine’s grave marker says she died in July 1812 at age 94. That would mean she was born in about 1718.

Elizabeth (Reisner) Slip was born 18 Dec. 1756 (according to the Family bible record of George Leonard Slipp, born 1819) or in 1757, according to other sources. Maybe there’s a record of her baptism in Philadelphia church records. She joined the German Reformed Church of New York City in 1774.
