Hi, Roxann, Andrew and Cristina are listed on the 1870 Lewis Co. census in the Elk Fork District: Andrew Koch, age 29 Farmer, $750, born in Germany Cristina J. Koch, age 18 Keeping house, born in Kentucky Arpunta (Spelling???), age 7 months, born in Kentucky In 1880: Andrew Cook, age 45 or 46 (I believe this is not the correct age), Farmer, Born in Hamburg, Germany Minnie Cook, age 11, daughter, born in KY Sallie Cook, age 8, daughter, born in KY Charles Cook, age 6, son, born in KY Mary Cook, age 70, Mother, born in Germany This leads me to believe that Cristina died between 1874 and 1880, and Andrew's mother came to live with him to take care of the children. Where did you find the marriage record? This is obviously the Andrew and Cristina I'm looking for. I believe I have Andrew's passenger record from 1863 from Bremen to US, but I haven't located a naturalization record yet that would prove it's him. I'm working on that. Are you related to Andrew and Cristina? Thanks so much. Janet Estep >>> Donshafer31@aol.com 10/25/01 08:31PM >>> Janet - I found a Lewis County marriage record for Andrew Kock and Christine J. Plummer for 17 Dec 1868. From what I can determine, I believe Christine was the daughter of James Lewis and Harriet (Riley) Plummer. Did Andrew and Christine leave Lewis County or are they there in 1870 ? Thanks for any help you can give.
