Mary Koenig born in Germany about 1813 and Christian Jacob Kropf married. Their children were born in Germany, Ontario, and Ohio, there were several children.

Child Elizabeth Kropf was born in Ontario in 1839. She married Jacob Sommer born in Ohio in 1839. They had several children one of them Mary Sommer born in Ontario in about 1866. She is burried with her husband in Darby Cemetery in Northern Missouri near the Iowa border.

Her husband is Henry Walter Swindler born 1859 in Croton Iowa. Henry Walter Swindler and Mary Sommer are my great grandparents.

I am looking for information about Mary Koenig and her family (parents, siblings).

I am looking for more information about Elizabeth K. Kropf.

It seems they migrated with Mennonite/Amish and lived in known settlements of these sects of Anabaptist.

I would greatly appreciate any information about these women and their families.

Thanks.
