Page 180-181 of the EIKENBERRY book has her parents as Henry LANDIS and Mary
CARVER which is my LANDIS family
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sfollis/follis/landis/landis_famili
es.html . Henry's parents Heinrich Hirt LANDIS and Elizabeth NAAS are the
New Jersey LANDIS line from Johannes LANDIS and Elizabeth HIRT of Hirzel,
Switzerland. I have not seen anything on Mary CARVER's family have you?
