The birth record(?) of Maria Elisabeth (d.o.b. 23-DEC-1736) gives her name as Anna Maria, the same name as for a sister (d.o.b. 28-OCT-1727) who likely had already died. If the association of names is correct, she might have taken the name Maria Elisabeth for her wedding so as to avoid any confusion with a like-named sister.
