Maria Margaretha WOLFF

[Catamount]

My
5th great-grandfather, Johann Heinrich Strehm, married Maria Margaretha Wolff on May 31, 1761 near Ephrata, Penn's Colony. She may have been born on August 6, 1735 in Besigheim, Neckarkreis, Wurttemberg. Can anyone tell me if or when her parents, Joseph and Anna Maria Wolff, emigrated to America?

For any helpers: Here is a baptism in Gemmrigheim with matching dates: https://www.archion.de/p/627d4dd127/

Maria Margaretha Wolff is a very common name. Why do you assume that this is the baptism of the person you are looking for?

The date of birth and the names of the parents are not based on any facts. There is even more such fantasy data on the net. This entry seems to be verifiable https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2WF-1QPS

I would first take look at this book:
Records of Pastoral Acts at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, New Holland, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 1730-1799
Author Trinity Lutheran Church (New Holland, Pa.)
Editors Glenn P. Schwalm, Frederick Sheely Weiser
Translated by Glenn P. Schwalm, Frederick Sheely Weiser
Published by Pennsylvania German Society, 1977
ISBN 0911122370, 9780911122374

and try to find a connection to the other Wolfs in the same town or to the Wolfs at the father's place of residence.

Thank you for the savvy advice. I need to do more research in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
