| Notes for Lydia (Spouse 1) |
| Vansom.ged201208. 'Missionsleben' material says that she died in 1833, "auf der Reise Bangalore-Madras." The latter statement identifies her as Godlieb's first wife, but it has her name as Emily. |
| Notes for Martha (Spouse 2) |
| Vansom.ged201208. Glaser-Köngeter : "It was so lovely when Mother (a daughter of Hetta née Wolff) left the heat of the plains to go up to the Blue Mountains, the Nilgherries. She visited her grandmother there a few times; she was Great-grandfather's (Godlieb va n S) second wife, outliving him by 38 years (she died in 1891 aged 78), and spent her widowhood in "Kelso Villa" in Ootacamund in the Blue Mountains. Before Mother came to Tanjore she had been with her grandmother for six months |
