My great grandmother was Eva Margarete Freudenberg.She married Sebastian Kuhn. (Kuehn)She died in about 1914 I think, in Belleville at the home of one of her daughters. Eva and Sebastian came from Germany about 1860. They had one daughter, Catherine, known as Kate, who was born either in Germany or enroute from Germany.Eva and Sebastian had a daughter, Margaret, who was called Maggie and she was born around 1861 in Philadelphia, PA. We think they moved to southern Illinois sometime after 1861.I believe there is a connection to Buffalo, NY somewhere.From an old marriage certificate that was hard to read it said that Eva's father's first name was George.We have heard that Eva's only son, also named Sebastian and who was my grandfather, worked somewhere near Leadville, CO, in the mines, for awhile.My grandfather, Sebastian, was born in 1871, near Mascoutah, IL and died in 1951, buried near Carbondale, Il.
