The Mackeben's (Mackeben is the correct spelling in Germany)Mackaben is americanized.
They come from Rehburg,in the Hannover area of Germany. The name goes back to the 1600's
in that area. Several Mackeben's emigrated to
Illinois, then to Minnesota and then Wisconsin. They settled in Lake, then Kane, then McHenry Co, IL. Some to Will Co., then to Martin, MN. One to Boone Co,IL then to Wood Co., WI.
