Hannah Zöller (as her name was spelled in the German records) was born August 6, 1792 and baptized August 13.^[1] She married Nicholas Gorkum on November 8, 1814.^[2]

John Nicholas Corkum and wife Johanna are listed as parents for at least the following children in the parish registers;^[3]

We don't know when she died but it was before 1871. Nicholas was a widower in the1871 census. She is presumed to be buried in the Feltzen South cemetery although there is no tombstone for either of them.
