However, I have recorded a marriage date of January 11, 1894 for John Knabel and Christina Riedesel. My source for that exact date is buried, but this marriage is recorded in the Clinton County records as well. The marriage license was issued in 1894, and describes him as being 24 and her 28. I hope this helps. Paul Riedesel www.riedesel.org
