Kathy,
Email me at [email protected] and I will share what I have.
I am curious as to where you found the info on the parents of Rebecca Mohler.The birth date for her you have is incorrect.She was born 2/22/1809.This comes directly from her tombstone in the Sidener Cemetery just south of St. Elmo in Fayette County, IL.
She died 2/13/1890.After her death, Christian is said to have moved to Kansas.I have been unable to determine exactly where, but I suspect he moved to Miami County, Kansas which is where his son William Henry Hendrickson and his family moved.I also have no dates of birth or death for Christian.
The 1870 Miami County, KS census indicates that both parents of Wm. Henry (Christian and Rebecca's son) were foreign born.This, plus the incorrect DOB for Rebecca is why I question the information regarding her parents.
You indicate only 4 children for Christian and Rebecca.They actually had 7.In addition to Mary Elizabeth (my GGG Grandmother), Jonathon, Samuel David, and Susan, there was also Thomas Franklin, Wm. Henry, and George Washington.All 3 of them were veterans of the Civil War.Thomas F. died of wounds he rec'd at the Battle of Ft. Donelson and George W. was killed in action at the Battle of Pittsburg Landing (Shiloh).
I am unsure of how your family line ties in - Jesse Townsend Hendrickson, but the line of migration seems the same.Christian and Rebecca went from Carroll Cty, MD to Marion Cty, OH to Fayette Cty, IL.
Great to read your post!I am communicating with several others that are interested in this same family.
