Susanna/Lusany (Bennett) GOESSMAN, widow of John G. GOESSMAN, married 10 Oct. 1861, FCI to John TUCKER. In 1862 Susanna (Goessman) TUCKER petitioned for a divorce from John TUCKER. In the court record a daughter, Nancy Jane TUCKER, “aged about two years, is the result of said marriage.” Susanna “prays that she have the custody of Nancy Jane” and “that her name be changed back to her former name of Susanna GOESSMAN”.

Can anyone provide any information about his mother's DANN connection? His mother and father's obits mention Rev. Paul DANN (Jr.), and his grandfather's obit mentions Rev. Paul DANN, Sr. DANN is my wife's maiden name. We suspect this family is down from a branch that went to New York in the mid-to-late 1800s, shortly after immigrating. However, we have little information on that branch of this family.
