This may be Benjamin Franklin Eisiminger (born April 13, 1844), the son of John Eisiminger and Mary Ann Kent Eisiminger Odenbaugh. Mary Ann had 5 children with John (B. F. was the 5th.), but then began to have an affair with Christian Odenbaugh. Her husband divorced her about 1850, and her father testified against her fidelity. So there's some question about the 6th and 7th Eisiminger children born. In fact the 6th (Lauretta) and the 7th, George W, were listed in the 1850 census as Eisimingers, but in the 1860 census they were named as Odenbaughs after Mary Ann married Christian. Mary Ann and Christian Odenbaugh then had 5 more children before both died about 1860/61, leaving the children as orphans. John Eisiminger (b1813, d 1864) was the son of Andrew Eisiminger (b. c 1794, d. Oct 9, 1846) and Elizabeth Grove (b. 1794). Mary Ann Kent (b 1817, d Jun3 15, 1861) was the daugher of James Kent (b 1792, d 1878) and Margaret Eagon (b 1792, d 1878). James Kent was the son of Thomas Kent (born c. 1747 in Ireland). The reason I know this information is that my ancestor George W Odenbaugh was the brother of Christian, and in some of the biographies/genealogies of the period, George is mistakenly identified as the father of some of Mary Ann's children. George W was married with infant children at the time, but Christian was not. Christian also was the one who married Mary Ann. Gerry Parchman
