The place and date of her death are not known at this point.
She married John Jacob Rudisuhle in about 1738 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lancaster. He was an immigrant from Michelfeld, apparently in the kingdom of Würtemberg.
They had at least nine children, all born in York, Pennsylvania: Jacob (1732), Jonas (April 28, 1736), Tobias (April 28, 1736), John Philip (April 19, 1738), Barbara (about 1740), Anna Catharina (May 5, 1742), Elizabeth (abut 1741), Susanna (October 19, 1744), and Balthazar (about 1745). Their surnames are spelled "Rudisill."
The oldest was married in 1755 at Canadochly Church in York, which apparently was a union made up of Calvinist and Lutheran congregations founded in 1753. Curious given that about a year before, the second oldest was married at Christ Lutheran Church in York, which dates from 1733. So were the next five children, between 1760 to 1769.
According to an official online history of York County, European occupation of the area began in 1729 when "John and James Hendricks established the first authorized settlement in what is now called Kreutz Creek in York County. Germans, originally lured from the Rhenish Palatinate by William Penn's agents, soon followed Englishmen into the new frontier."
The town of York was founded in 1741, according to Wikipedia.
According to the York County history, fighting in the Seven Years War (1754-1763), bitterly fought in western Pennsylvania in the 1750s, came within a day's march of York County, and war refugees fled there from Cumberland County, just across the northwest boundary of York County.
Elizabeth Hamsbacher would have been about forty-three at the beginning of that war.
Benjamin Franklin, to supply the troops, came to York in 1755, bought flour, and hired a hundred and fifty wagons and almost three hundred pack horses.
In 1758, four companies of militia from York County took part in the capture of Fort Duquesne in western Pennsylvania (later Fort Pitt, from which Pittsburgh developed). The muster rolls of those companies, if they exist, have yet to be found.
During the Revolution, a Jacob Rudisell of York County was first lieutenant in the first company, Reed's company, of the sixth battalion, presumably of the York County militia. This could have been Elizabeth Hamsbacher's eldest child, who would have been about forty-eight when the Revolution ended in 1781. See Pennslvania Digital Archives.
John Rudisill of York County, perhaps her fourth child, was a member of Pennington's company of the first battalion.
Whether either saw active service is not known.
If Elizabeth Hambacher still lived in 1781, when the fighting ended, she would have been about seventy.
