She married a Hoppe at one point. I don't know if she ever had any children. But, late in life, she became the third wife of my ancestor, Ernst Menke. Ernst Menke b: Abt. 12 Mar 1811 in Bünde or Buende, Westfalen, Prussia d: 11 Jan 1883 in Guttenberg, Jefferson Township, Clayton Co., IA Burial: Borcherding Cemetery in Jefferson Township, Clayton Co., IA (age 78 yr 10 mo) *3rd Wife of Ernst Menke: . +Chellotta (Rothe) Hoppe b: 1809 m: 09 Oct 1878 in Clayton Co., Iowa d: 01 Jan 1882 Burial: Borcherding Cemetery, Jefferson Twp, Clayton Co. IA It sounds like you might have already seen this online transcription: ftp://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/ia/clayton/1860/pg00953.txt I've never been able to figure out how my Charlotte/Chellota was (or could be) related to the other ROTHs and HOPPEs in Clayton Co.
