My records on Christian Rehling and Anna Stahlberg, shown married in 1858, had the following children: Christian Frederick b. 1859 Anna b 1861 Sophia b. 1863 Catherine b. 1864 Christian b. 1865 I show Henry Rocklage as having four children: Ida b 1875 Lena b 1876 Heinrich b 1879 Hulda b ? For now my conclusions are based upon the birth dates of children, although the 1880 US Census conflicts with it somewhat. I have an exhibit from an estate settlement from one of the grandchildren of Grandparent's Rocklage. It lists Henry, Ida, Lena, Hulda, Sophia, Anna, Chris and Fred as their Grandchildren. The men clearly have either Rocklage or Rehling surnames. The women have their married names. Hand written notes on the page list Sophia and Anna as half aunts and Chris Rehling as a half uncle and Fred Rehling as deceased. This says that the estate which was from the Rocklage side was from Henry's bloodline thus making Sophia a Rehling if she was a half aunt. As you can see, I am missing some hard evidence about Christian's children as well as the actual marriage date of Anna and Henry. Lacking also is information about Sophia Wittler's family beyond that she had four children, Ida Hartwig, Emma Weber, Louis Wittler and Henrietta Schneider. The estate info lists Louis Wittler as having a son Louis Jr. and Henriietta a son Lester. If you could fill in some of the missing info I'd love to help you further with what else I know from my line through Anna Leber.
