First, a small point. Rachel was a sponsor for Benjamin GERMAN, not Gorman. The German family was large in the area. I have that record but I was never able to identify Rachel's family. The Heidelberg Church was actually two churches in one building, the Reformed and the Lutheran. They split the expenses and had two different minsters.
Christian was born March 20, 1774 and married Marie Bachman July 27, 1794. If we count Rachel, they had 7 children.
Rachel b: 1796
Marie Magdalena b: January 13, 1800
Jonathan b: April 20, 1802
David b: August 10, 1808
Petrus b: March 21, 1811
Elias b: March 13, 1813
Israel b: August 25, 1818
Christian was the son of Lorentz and Eva Catharina Kramlich. Lorentz was the son of Johann Jacob Holbein and Catharina Weiss Johann arrived on September 12, 1742 in Phila. from Odenwald, Germany. Johann was an elder in the Weisenberg Union Church and a couple of the Holben's help start the Lowhill Church.
Jonathan married Ulrika Jacobena Wichtermann on March 8, 1827 in Seneca Co., NY. Apparently, Rachel was up there about the same time after she married Mihm.
Tsrael also went to Seneca Co. but it was between 1840 and 1850.
The David you mentioned was probably this David but I could find no records that he went to NY. Also, the Clarissa you mentioned as Jonathan's wife doesn't gee up with Ulrika unless Ulrika died and Clarissa was the second wife.
The migration to Ohio fits in because two of Lorentz's children went to Stark Co. OH in 1810 - 1820 where they raised large families. I know there were other Holben's in Medina Co. but didn't know about Van Wert Co.
I believe you have tied it all together except for some details. If you want more details of the early Holben's, get me your snail mail address and I will forward some things I have compiled.
Regards,
Gene
