NICHOLAS DONIE from Germany

Nicholas Donie was my gg grandfather.Info found on him is as follows: Born in Prussia aft.1800. In 1865, was a member of the original congregation for St Patrick's (Catholic) Church in Hubbard, Ohio.He was part of a group of German & Irish men who talked Father O'Callaghan of Youngstown church to found and service a new church there. While the church was being built, Father Callaghan stayed in the home of Nicholas Donie in Hubbard. First services were held in his home and a local schoolhouse until the church was completed.
I have St Patrick Church narrative for this data as well as verbal confirmation from my grandmother.
Children of Nicholas were George and Peter and...?
