We estimate she was born 1743-1747. Some descendants/researchers indicate she was born in Lancaster Co., PA. Others feel she was born in MD.
As far as her death, Mary was living when Henry wrote his will in 1817. Henry's entry on the 1820 census shows him as Henry Sprenkle (widower), so she died at some point after his will was written on 27 Apr 1817 and before the 1820 census was taken. It makes sense that she is buried at Christ Church Cemetery where Henry is buried.
Nine children are mentioned in Henry's will: Johan Peter ("Peter"); Anna Margareth (Keefer); Anna Maria (Miller, Forney); Susannah (Fox); Henry; Michael; George; Elizabeth (Wunder); & Catherine (Hayes).
