Maria Justina Dorothea von Jagow was the wife of Prussian military engineer Wilhelm Augustin Steuben and mother of Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. A Magdeburg baptismal entry names both parents when recording their son’s 1730 birth. Deutsche Biographie identifies her parents as Arnold August von Jagow and Eleonore von dem Knesebeck and gives her lifespan as 1707–1780. Other genealogy gives 1706; her son’s American military achievements should not be assigned to her.
