Stephen died sometime before 1860. They had 5 children. Henrietta Klingbeil Burnham Ernestine Klingbeil Massopust Juni Louisa Klingbeil Kumm William Klingbeil Kimber Adolph Klingbeil Kimber. Somtime after 1870 Mary, William and Adolph’s surname was changed to KIMBER. My question is why was the name changed to KIMBER, did Mary remarry ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
