Mary,
It appears I have acted in haste.In reviewing my notes for the dates of Charles and Sarah, I see the bulk of the sources were from earlier emailed documents from you.I'd be dangerous if I had a memory.
I had a later birth date for Charles of Dec 19 or 29, 1838.This later date seems to match better with the age of his older sibling Katharina (b. Apr 30, 1837).However, I can't seem to find what the source for that date was.Katharina married Charles Doerr.He is buried in City Cemetery, Fort Madison, IA.Perhaps her stone could confirm her birth date.It is also possible that Charles and Katharina were not from the same family.Do you show Charles parents as Johann Friedrich Magerkurth (b. Apr 30, 1804) and Elsiabetha Dorothea Schmieh (b.Jan. 29, 1806)?
Thanks,
Tim Andrews
