Nevertheless, Mapleton Milestones does carefully state that she and her husband were of no relation despite their last names. This information has been verified; they were actually third cousins, once removed. Their wedding was witnessed by cabinet-maker Johannes Kraft [John K's grandfather], 58 years of age, a resident of Sellnrod; [and] farmer Ludwig Kraft, 29 years of age, a resident of Schmitten.
