REUSS, SCHWENK marriage and ancestors
I am looking for the family of ELIZABETH REUSS she was said to come from Hessen with her husband JOHN SCHWENK.They landed in New Orlaens in 1843?, after a short illness on John's part they moved to Buffalo, NY where my gggrandmother Philipena Schwenk was born.They came to settle in New Buffalo, MI.Elizabeth's death certificate reads her date of birth to be 28 Jun 1828 and she died 17 Oct 1911. According to John's he was born 16 Apr 1820 and died 22 Sep 1869.Does anyone out there know of this branch?I have very little clues to go on.
Yours,
Tunis
