I am looking for information regarding Jacob Spies who was married to Caroline Smith. Jacob came to the USA from Germany at age 15. He was born in 1835, in Westphalia Germany. I have no information who he came from except perhaps 2 men Meryman and Thomas.
His parents names were George and Catherine (Smith) Spies. I am looking for information regarding them also.
Jacob and his wife had ten children of which 6 died...leaving Albina who is said to have married a Philip Emmert; George Albert who married and moved to South Dakota, another boy and my great grandfather, Reuben Spies who married Dorothea Sternberg. Dorothea's parents were Charles (Karl) and Mary Sternberg who came to the USA when Dora was only 7.
Reuben and Dora were the parents of 7 children:
William Christian
Milton Reuben
Fred
Philip
Caroline
Esther Henrietta
Albina
William Christian was my grandfather and married in December 1910 to my grandmother, Blanche Green/Greene of Adaville, Iowa area. Her parents were Charles & Anna ? Moorhead Green. She had siblings: Elsie or Ellen,
Charlie & Floyd or Lloyd.
Unable to find much information on the Green's or the Moorheads - running into brick wall.
William and Blanche had three children: William Gordon, Mildred Blanche and Wayne Allen. Blanche died in 1920. Wayne was given to Will's sister and husband, Esther & Oscar Schindel to raise until Will could handle his loss.
Will remarried in 1923 to a Mary Lenore Rush.
Together Will and Lenore had two children:
Ardyce Spies Arndt & Norma Spies Hartman.
I am mostly looking for information on the Moorheads, Sternbergs, and Green's but any information on any of surnames listed above would be great appreciated.
Thank you so much.
Ruth
