I am researching my Rinner family. I am trying to confirm if a Rinner/Renner family from Burlington is connected with my Rinner family. The mother of this Rinner family was widowed in Ohio about 1836 shortly after arriving from Germany. It is not known if the mother ever re-married. At some point in time, the mother made her way to Burlington, Iowa where she lived on a farm located near a Theobald Klein. This was about in the 1860's until about 1871. The mother appparently died in 1871. Her son, Peter Rinner, who had lived with the mother, then went to live in Clarke County. Peter Rinner was a veteran of the Mexican War and Civil War. There was also a daughter, Margaret, who married a H. J. Riepe. They remained in Burlington. Margaret Riepe died in 1917. I would like to hear from anyone who may be researching these family lines. Thank you. Jim.
