  [[Category: Earl Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania]] {{Palatine Migration}} == Biography == '''Birth and parents''' : Susanna is variously reported to have been : * born in 1661* born in 1678 in Switzerland Best, Jane Evans (1997). ''The Groff Book, Volume 2 : A continuing saga'', p.84. Ronks, PA : Groff History* the daughter of [[Kundig-2|Hans Kundig]] and [[Meili-3|Elisabeth Meili]]. '''Marriage and children''' : Susanna is variously reported to have married Hans Graff : * in 1687 * in 1700 * in Alsace, France* One source suggests that she may have been the Widow ORENDORF when she married Hans GRAFF.per Landes, Dieter, May 2008, Hans-Dieter Landes , Zügelstr.12 , 76744 Wörth, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. Susanna Kendig came with husband Hans GRAFF to America; they arrived by 1704 (13 years before her parents came), lived first in Germantown until 1715 when they moved to Lancaster County. However, Susanna has been reported through family tradition as having been a domestic servant to Hans in Germantown, Pennsylvania. '''Death''' : She died after 1746. Husband Hans GRAFF's will was probated 5 May 1746 in Earl Twp, Lancaster Co, PA. Since she was named executor of his estate, she must have died after 24 Jun 1748 (see Wenger & Grider books); is the 1748 date in Groffsdale really her? ==Research Notes== Jane Evans Best records in ''The Groff Book'' : : Hans Groff b. ca. 1675; wp.
