Behnke Tree from Williams County, Ohio
I'm searching for info about John J. Behnke,and Henrietta(Yetta)Bayes.They were married in ? Germany.They had two daughters in Germany. 1.Mildred (Millie) Behnke born Abt. 1868.She married Albert Bodenberg and they lived in Wisconson.2.Wilhelminia(Minnie)Behnke born 1/10/1870.She married a Edward Lawson and lived in Mishawaka, Indiana. When they were on the boat one of the children almost died.When they got to the US we think they changed the spelling to BANKEY.But we are not sure when it was changed. Henrietta died before 1884. Because he married Alma Pliny around 1884 in Williams County,Ohio. John & Alma had at least three children. 1.Charles Bankey born 11/16/1884.He married a Hazel Hakes and lived around Battlecreek, Michigan. 2.Ronald or Rinold born ???.
3.Augusta A. Bankey born 5/1/1887.She married Ellery Ford Gaskill on 12/24/1907.In Montpelier, Williams County, Ohio. Augusta is my Grandmother. I do have more info.Can anybody help me?
