On 13 August, 1860 The Waterloo Region branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society produced a list of baptisms for the Doon & Hespeler Presbyterian Church. The preamble mentions the name of Thomas Isaac Hodgskin. At a guess, Benjamin and Barbara were married at the Doon church, though the Hespeler church is at least a possibility. |

| Burial | She was buried at Kitchener First Mennonite, Section C. |
| Note | A transcription of Barbara's gravestone in Section C of Kitchener First Mennonite Cemetery tells that she died on October 19, 1866. The October 31st, 1866, edition of the Dumfries Reformer of Galt tells that she died on October 15th of 'lingering consumption'. Ben Burkholder is said to be her husband. The reformer death notice locates her death as being 'near Doon'. This will be in Waterloo Township. |
