John Jacob's wife is identified as "Mary" on the monument, which was erected in the cemetery in 1932. The birth and death dates engraved for Mary match Barbara's birth and death dates. Baptismal records for children of John Jacob Dreibelbis identify their mother as Barbara (Burkhardt) Dreibelbis.
The John Jacob Dreibelbis Cousins of America website http://www.dreibelbiscousins.org/ states "Unfortunately, the monument contains errors in dates and names. Correcting these mistakes is a goal of your current officers. Research is not complete but birth date of John Jacob is 1709 not 1714, His wife (s) were Christina and Barbara not Mary."
