Hello, Thought I should update a previous post. The spellings for Richner in the 1800's are so bad that I can't locate a single record for my family in Illinios. They are there however and having computer access to a database makes all the difference. Our local microfiche for the marriages of Illinois didn't include Logan yet. So I found the following new information. Ruechner, Fredrick & Meyer, Mary in Logan Co. 25 on Aug 1861 - Is this one of his marriages? I didn't have any information on her? Anyone else know about Mary or this marriage? Fred and Christina are buried in Mt Pulaski Cemetery together. Is Mary buried there too. I'm still waiting for my Cemetery Transcriptions book. Charles Richner, Frederick's 1st son was born in Jun of 1863. I have John G. and Elizabeth (Work) Mayer and descendents. I found Frederick's marriage to Christina: Righner, Frederick & Letterle, Christina in Logan Co. on 03 Nov 1864. This is after the birth of Charles and may explain why he's listed last in the 1880 Census. See below. This also updates the assumptions made about the 1900 Census and the number of her children living and deseased. I also found both of the Richner/Stoll marriages listed as Richurs, Charles F./Stoll, Agnes Elizabeth and Richtner, Henry A./Stoll, Emma C Thanks for your assistance, Penny (Richner) Husler - ------------------------------------------------------------- Penny Husler wrote: > I can't find any record of a Frederick RICHNER in Illinois in 1860. -----------Snip---------------- > This census is the evidence that links the LOETTERLE/RICHNER families. > 1880 Census: Leanna, Logan Co., Illinois - page > > Richner, Christina 48 Keeps House,[b.Feb 1831] Wrbg-Wrbg-Wrbg, Widow > Loetterle, Frederick 28 Farmer [b.Nov 1853] Wrbg-Wrbg-Wrbg > " Adam 22 Farmer [b.Aug 1860] IL -Wrbg-Wrbg > " Michael 20 Farm hand [b.Feb 1859] IL -Wrbg-Wrbg > Richner Mattie 14 at home IL -Wrbg-Wrbg [only record of Mattie] > " Henry 12 at home IL -Wrbg-Wrbg > " William 10 at school IL -Wrbg-Wrbg > " Charles 18 Farm Hand IL -Wrbg-Wrbg > -----------Snip---------------- > This census indicates Christina had given birth to 8 children and 6 were > still living.
