I have their records from Germany (Pruessen/Hanover) saying he was born 1793, and she was born 1795. I did not know all their childrens names, but I believe that Johan Heinrich Myerholtz (b 1832) is the father of my great grandfather, George C. Myerholts (some family members switched to an s at the end). J.H. Myerholtz (as listed in the 1880 Ottawa county census) had a daughter named Ricka, who was born in 1860 or 1861, possibly this is the person referred to below as Rickey - as the original Ricka was also called Rickey. J.H. was married to a Maria, they had 9 children at the time of the census. George (my ggrandfather) was born November 13, 1865 in ottawa county, OH. He married Mary C. Ferris May 14, 1891. They had 2 children, Nellie and Henry. Nellie is my grandmother. I would love to get in contact with you and share information. my email is dsuprock@hotmail.com.
